Drawn as a dashed "blue line" throughout the length of the 26.2 mile course of the 2022 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the victory route will mean a lot to the runners who step off in the city's biggest race on Oct. 9, 2022.
The line represents "the most direct, fastest way to the finish line," marathon organizers said. The line doubles as the official measurement taken by city and race officials to ensure the Bank of America Chicago Marathon's course is exact.
