This e-mail has been sent to everyone on the Chicago Marathon's massive e-mail list, including me. Again, the Lakeshore Marathon has no ties at all to the Lakeshore Marathon, the 27.2 version of the marathon. Marathon Pundit was one of the first bloggers to report on this troubled race.
From the Chicago Marathon's e-mail:
This October's LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon, one of the top running events in the world, has a carefully measured course that is certified by USATF and the IAAF. The highest standards are maintained when it comes to servicing runners, from water stations to state-of-the-art medical attention.
A report in the Friday, June 3 Chicago Tribune, described problems with the Lakeshore Marathon, held Monday, May 30. Other reports also have surfaced about this event, sometimes referring to the Lakeshore Marathon as the Chicago Marathon.
Please be assured that The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon will continue to uphold the high standards you expect.
Marathon Pundit will be running in this year's Chicago Marathon. To read about my last marathon run, click here.
