The Biggest Loser Race Series Chicago Half Marathon in Illinois

The August 13th, 2016 The Biggest Loser Race Series Chicago Half Marathon in Illinois is a walker friendly event, and a great event for first time half marathoners.  The Race series is one of the most supportive half marathon series out there in the USA for back of the pack participants and first timers.  They "get it" when it comes to accepting the changes in the half marathon industry.  The industry has shifted to accepting all levels, abilities, and speeds, focusing on the finisher, and not the time. Admittedly (and unfortunately), there is still a big portion of the half marathon industry that aren't adapting to change, but The Biggest Loser Race Series is not one of them.

Race series shirt and a tote bag for all participants, race medal, post race food, and tons of cheering and support!  For more information, visit the Illinois half marathons page and scroll to August half marathons.

Southern Illinois Spring Classic Race Review

Race review for the Souther Illinois Spring Classic by Fifty States Half Marathon Club member Jim Calcutt:


Completed the Southern Illinois Spring Classic in Lawrenceville IL. Not a new state, but gives me 18 halves overall. Good small town race - good course, decent water stop support. Most of it was on rural roads through cornfields so there weren't any crowds for support. If you like small town races this could be one for you to consider. If that's not the case, fear not, Illinois has many halves to choose from. :o)
