How it was built
From an elevator flyer to a live map How it was built Closure and reopening times come from the Bank of America Chicago Marathon's street-closure notice (Aug 31, 2026). Streets are traced on the City of Chicago's street centerline data. Runner positions are a model, not live tracking. Plans can change on race day, and NotifyChicago sends the official alerts.
