INFORMATION
The Chicago Half Marathon Series is a diverse collection of 6 half marathons located all over Chicagoland throughout the year.  Participate in at least 4 of the 6 half marathons and you are eligible for the series. This is a chance for half marathoners of all levels and ages to track their performance throughout the year as well as compete against other fellow half marathoners for age group or overall glory.  If you participate in more than 4 races then only your best 4 races will count toward the series.  All participants will receive a point for participating in each race and the top 15 in each age group and overall from each half marathon will receive additional points on a graduated scale.
