I was in Chicago for the first day of the Chicago Marathon expo to pick up my race packet and visit a few companies I work with that were there for the event. Most people wait until Friday night or Saturday to get their packets, since the race is on Sunday. By then, it can take hours just to park. Once you’re inside, lines for race gear or free giveaways can stretch an hour or more per booth, all for a chance to win a sticker or a beanie. You’re exhausted from being on your feet for 5 hours and walking around.
Thursday was a much better call. I still waited about 15 minutes, but I walked out with a pile of great swag. I’d guess around 10,000 people were there, and it felt like 7,000 of them were from outside the U.S. I barely heard English as I walked through the expo. I knew Chicago was a destination race, but I didn’t realize it was on the same level as London, Tokyo, or Berlin. Based on Thursday’s crowd, it definitely is. Most of the international runners arrive early or make a week of it, so it makes sense they’d hit the expo on the least crowded day.
It also got me thinking. This is absolutely not the weekend to be running ICE operations around Chicago. There are tens of thousands of travelers in town for the marathon, and checking IDs would be a terrible look. Chicago is a melting pot any day of the year, but with all the visitors, it would be impossible to tell who’s who—and the optics would be awful. If the goal is to get people to come back, the last thing you want is National Guard patrols on the streets. With the marathon in town, the city is about to see thousands of skinny South American and Spanish men running through the streets anyway.
