Welcome to the Chicago Marathon
In November 1976 at the Metropolitan YMCA on LaSalle Street, five key founders of what would become The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon met to begin discussions and planning.
September 1977 saw the first running of the event under the name, the Mayor Daley Marathon, with 4200 runners participating. This was to be the first event which has grown into what we know as The Chicago Marathon and is now a familiar fixture on the October race calendar.
