Chicago Marathon registration lottery is now open

Want to pound 26.2 miles of pavement with more than 45,000 runners at the 2015 Chicago Marathon? The race's non-guaranteed entry lottery opened today at noon and will accept entries through April 21. Registration for guaranteed entry is also underway, but those spots are typically reserved for individuals who are running to raise money for charities or have finished the race multiple times in the past. The 2015 Chicago Marathon is scheduled for October 11, but it's not too early to start training.
