Chicago Marathon Transportation

The Chicago Marathon shuts down 26.2 miles of city streets every October, making it one of the most disruptive traffic events of the year. Whether you’re running, spectating, or just trying to get across town, a pre-planned transportation strategy is essential. For trips to Millennium Park, see our Millennium Park limo service page.

For Marathon Runners

Your race starts in Grant Park at 7:30 AM. Parking near the start line is impossible. A car service picks you up at your hotel or home and drops you at the designated runner entrance. After the race, your driver meets you at the finish area — no walking 10 blocks on spent legs to find your car.

For Spectators and Families

Want to watch at multiple points along the course? A limo lets you hop between spectator zones — Pilsen at mile 18, Chinatown at mile 21, and the finish line in Grant Park. Your driver navigates around road closures while you focus on cheering.

For Everyone Else

Even if you’re not involved in the marathon, road closures affect airport transfers and cross-town trips all day. Book a car service with a driver who knows the detour routes.
