I live in South Loop off Michigan and have a flight tomorrow morning. My flight is at 1pm from ORD. I set my car for 10:30am due to the Chicago Marathon. Do you all foresee any issues with this?

Have you looked into getting to the blue line? Your area looks pretty surrounded based on the map.

Thanks for sending over!

Probably not want you want to hear but yes, that’s going to be a problem. the biggest issue is the car getting to you. you’re good once it gets to you.

Course runs along Michigan Ave from 35th to Roosevelt. Cars cannot cross Michigan. Period.

Once the car gets to you - hop on either LAD (east of Michigan) or 90/94 (West of Michigan) and you should be clear.

And if the car can’t get to you, the car can’t get to you and it’s ultimately your problem. Most of the car services know how to navigate, but I’d give myself extra time.

Also 10:30 is peak marathon hour.

I agree with the above - I’d take the El.

Oh wow, thank you so much!

OP are you on the east or west side of Michigan Ave? Hopefully the west side so you can make your way to the train. They aren’t going to let people cross through the runners on Michigan Ave. It will be blocked off.

I’m on the East side. I genuinely do not know what I’m supposed to do tomorrow 😥

Yes , I lived in south loop for years and also ran Chicago a few times. You need to get out of the area unless you plan on taking blue line to O’hare. Allow yourself plenty of time if you are taking Uber. Do check road closures

I’m out now and traffic is already a $h!t$h0w. i would leave early and not planning on a car being able to get near you.

SO…report back OP ?!?!

Sorry lol. So I actually moved my flight up to 8:30am from the original 1:15pm flight. I saw that Ubers would have to get me by 7am, so I setup a car to pick me up at 6:30am!

Everything worked out fellow fishes. I appreciate you all!
