Rank Stranger watch party - Oct. 8, 2017 Chicago Marathon

Rank Strangers and 1,000,000 others are invited to join a Chicago Marathon watch party on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017.  I will follow the model from the past two years and track Rank Strangers Randy and Denise Meacham, Peter Wagner and my pal Bill Halvorsen from Blue Cross.   Come to the spots shown on this map  Link  and I'll see you there; it is the 3.5, 11.1 and 23.1 mile spots.

Here's who I'm tracking.




















In 2016 I was able to see the Meachams and Rank Stranger Paul Miller.

See maps and pictures of the viewing spots in the blog entry for the 2015 viewing plan:  Link   

My race day garb - I think this will catch the eyes of my runners:

First, Chicago Fire jersey and White Sox half-way-to-St-Patrick's-Day cap 



 









Balloon -- likely without Kay to hold it














They did it!
