The Race Even Marathoners Fear


The Chicago Marathon may have 40,000 participants. Not the San Francisco Marathon.

The San Francisco Marathon is lucky to get 7,000 runners. Such a great venue for a big race. So scenic. But there's a big difference between the Chicago Marathon and the San Francisco Marathon - hills!

Read why runners fear this race in Kevin Helliker's article published in the Wall Street Journal.

It's funny but I'd do this marathon (if I were still into marathons) for precisely the reasons people give against it: challenging course, not crowded, ideal weather and not super-corporate.
