LOST AND FOUND

Lost and found items will be collected throughout race weekend at the Abbott Health & Fitness Expo and in Grant Park on race day. If you are looking for an item that was lost, please visit chicagomarathon.com/lostandfound to confirm if your item was turned into the event lost and found.

Any items unclaimed by Friday, December 5 will no longer be available.


RUNNER REUNITE

Connect with friends and family after the race at Runner Reunite. Red alphabetical towers (A-Z) will be staged in Butler Field within the 27th Mile Post-Race Party to facilitate meeting locations by last name. When making plans to reunite with your family and friends, we encourage you to identify a specific letter to meet your friends and family by post-race. Please communicate to your family and friends that they should meet you within Butler Field and not congregate around participant entry points into the 27th Mile Post-Race Party to avoid crowding. Factor in the time it will take you to navigate through the finish area and collect your bag from gear check. We estimate getting from the finish to the Post-Race Party can take 30 minutes or longer. Devise a backup plan if you cannot locate your party within Grant Park.


27TH MILE POST-RACE PARTY

Celebrate your accomplishment at the 27th Mile Post-Race Party in Butler Field, near the start line at Columbus Drive and Jackson Drive. The outdoor celebration will feature music from a Chicago-based DJ and food and beverages available for purchase.

The 27th Mile Post-Race Party is open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beer tickets will be for sale from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and can be redeemed until 3:30 p.m.
