Take public transportation and load up that Ventra card -- the payment system that is used by both the Metra rail and the Chicago Transit Authority buses and trains.
You can buy a card at O’Hare International Airport when getting into town, or download it as an app. Now that you know Ventra is not the size of your drink order...you’re ready to figure out how and where you need to go to watch runners. points along the courseThe Start and Finish line in Grant Park is accessible on multiple lines. Bonus points for checking out the relatively new 'Dino rib' design of the Washington/Wabash Station , which can be accessed via the Brown, Green, Orange and Pink lines stop.
On the North Side, take the Red Line to the Belmont stop and walk a couple blocks to the corner of Aldine and Broadway. If I'm being specific, it's because that's the precise spot of the North Halsted Aid Station. There, you'll find two stages packed with performers in drag and a DJ. It's early in the race, too -- just past Mile 8 -- which means runners are still feeling happy.
Another one of my favorite spots is Pilsen. Take the Pink line to 18th to get there and enjoy a bite to eat while the runners come up to Mile 19. Mount Roosevelt is notorious known as one of the toughest parts of an otherwise flat course, so bring a cowbell after taking the Red, Orange, or Green line to Roosevelt, and get those runners through the last .2 of the race.
