Chicago Marathon Transportation

45,000 runners, 26.2 miles of road closures, and a city that's virtually un-drivable on race day. Your chauffeur navigates the open corridors — from pre-dawn start line drop-off to post-race celebration pickup.

Why Book a Limo

26.2 Miles of Road Closures

Half the City Is Closed

The Chicago Marathon route shuts down 26.2 miles of streets. Road closures start at 5am and last past 4pm. Driving yourself or taking rideshare means fighting detours across the entire city. Your chauffeur knows the open corridors.

Pre-Dawn Start Line Drop-Off

Runners need to be at Grant Park by 5:30-6:00am. Our chauffeurs are used to 4am pickups — we run airport transfers at that hour daily. You get dropped at the start area rested and on time.

Spectator Shuttle Service

Watching from multiple points along the course? Your chauffeur moves you from Mile 3 on LaSalle to Mile 13 in the West Loop to the finish at Grant Park — all on streets that are actually open.

Post-Race Celebration Pickup

After 26.2 miles, the last thing a runner wants is to stand in a rideshare queue. Your chauffeur stages near the finish area and picks you up when you're ready — cold water and towels in the vehicle.

FAQ

Marathon Questions

Can you get me to the marathon start line at Grant Park by 6am?

Yes — early morning pickups are routine for us. We run O'Hare and Midway airport transfers at 3-4am daily. For marathon morning, we pick you up from your hotel or home, navigate the pre-race road closures, and drop you as close to the Grant Park start corrals as vehicle access allows. We know which streets are still open at 5:30am race morning.

How do spectators get between marathon viewing points?

We shuttle spectator groups between course viewing spots using streets that aren't on the marathon route. A typical spectator itinerary covers the start at Grant Park, a mid-course viewing point in Pilsen or the West Loop, and the finish line. Your chauffeur knows the open corridors and can move you between 2-3 spots during the race.

Can you pick up a runner after they finish the marathon?

Absolutely. We stage near the Michigan Ave finish area and coordinate pickup via text. Runners exit the finish chute on Columbus Drive — we position as close as traffic allows. Most runners want 30-60 minutes post-finish for gear check and recovery before the pickup. We wait as long as you need.
