Chicago Marathon 2024 with the Shoe Gazers: Did We Go Sub-4?

Today, I ran the Chicago Marathon with Robbe Raccoon’s Chicago Shoe Gazers—a band of ring-tailed near-rodents on a mission to snag a sub-4-hour finish in 2024.

For myself, coming off Berlin just two weeks ago with little to no running in between, this was always going to be a tough challenge. Did we pull it off? Let’s find out—time to get trashy!

Huge thank you to the Believe in the Run crew and New Balance for the awesome singlets! And shoutout to MarathonFoto for offering all Shoe Gazers FREE race day photos with custom Believe/Raccoon border branding!

I tried to capture as much of the group as possible, but ultimately, I got separated from the pack. If you ran with the group, let us know how you did!
