Chicago Tribune's take on the Lakeshore 27.2 mile marathon

Eric Zorn is not the only Chicago Tribune writer working on the Lakeshore Marathon "bonus mileage" race.

Julie Deardorff, the Tribune's Health & Fitness writer, has a front-page, above the fold article about the 27.2 mile "marathon." Apparently the half-marathon was a mess too.

Julie writes:

Adding to the chaos was the half-marathon, which also turned out to be too long and poorly marked. Some participants were so befuddled, they were running in circles.

The AP has a story on the race as well.
