Video: Chicago Marathon wheelchair race start

From viewpoint of the Randolph Street bridge, watch the start of Bank of America Chicago Marathon's wheelchair race.



Australian Kurt Fearnley won the men's race with a time of 1 hour, 29 minutes, 18 seconds. In the women's event, Tatyana McFadden of Champaign, Illinois prevailed when she crossed the finish line in 1 hour and 45 minutes flat.

Downstate and Down Under win.


The runners behind the wheelchair racers I believe are athletes in need of assistance, such as blind runners.
