Subject: RE: Chicago Lakefront 50 Miler When I was living in Chicago all my runs were done on that part of the lakefront trail and was also running there during that 50 Miler. It is asphalt, slightly better for your knees than concrete and there's a gravel strip next to it, you can run on it as well. You will be doing loops and the trail will be open to normal traffic (at least it was when I was there ). Not many spectators and the stations were further apart than in a regular marathon. Watch out for the turnaround points as they were marked in chalk (hopefully it won't rain... ) and kind of confusing (the same trail for few distances ). Good luck there!
