Bank of America Chicago Marathon runners will get to kick off post-race celebrations with a drinkable trophy.
Goose Island has joined forces with the marathon to create a special edition beer can designed specifically for the event's 44th running, which is set to take place Oct. 9.
The bright orange cans will feature the Windy City's flagship stars, with an emboldened "finisher" tag printed on its side.

On race day, the can will be brimming with 312 Wheat Ale, a locally brewed beer "densely populated with flavor" that Goose Island said was inspired by the city.
As described by the brewery, the drink has a "crisp, fruity ale" flavor that is encapsulated in "a smooth, creamy body that's immensely refreshing."
Goose Island will dish out the drink to marathon runners at the Post-Race Party in Grant Park's Butler Field.
