The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is quickly approaching and with it comes street closures and parking bans. The route will go through more than 25 Chicago neighborhoods and will span as south as 35th Street, as north as Addison Street and as west as Damen Avenue.
Whether you’re one of the brave 45,000 runners or one of the 1.7 million spectators expected to attend, it’s time to plan for the event. With so many street closures and parking bans, be sure to plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to get to the event.
Street Closures
Street closures along the race route will begin around 6:00am on the day of the race, Sunday, October 7, 2012. The Chicago Police Department will start to reopen streets as runners make their way through the course and it is safe to reopen to the general public.

Parking
Locations which have the “Buy Now” button allow participants to pre-register and have a guaranteed parking spot at the garage on the day of the event. You can use this pass all day at any time during the day.
You can also just go to the garage on race day, but availability cannot be guaranteed without advance purchase. Cash or credit cards are accepted.
