‘Biggest Loser' Winner To Run Chicago Marathon

Danni Allen of Wheeling named Season 14 winner of "The Biggest Loser"

Fresh off her win of NBC's "The Biggest Loser," Danni Allen of Wheeling is planning her next move -- and it's a big one. 

Allen plans to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon this fall. She told the Chicago Sun-Times the marathon is her first fitness goal after the show.

The 26-year-old started the televised weight-loss competition at 258 pounds and weighed in at 137 pounds by the end, enough to earn her the title and $250,000. She said the journey has been about more than just losing weight.

"I feel whole again and it just took clearing out all that mental stuff that I had going on to get to this place," she said.

The Chicago Marathon kicks off Oct. 13 from Grant Park.
