The 261 Club Metro Chicago club will host a series of events around the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 13. Women from around the globe will be in town to meet and exchange ideas with members of 261 Club Metro Chicago. Join us and connect with the 261 Fearless community during a run, a coffee or both. Enjoy the 261 Fearless spirit of fun, health, and non-competitive running that unifies our ladies around the world.

What? We'll do an easy shakeout run and have a coffee meet up afterwards at the Drawing Room, located on the 2nd floor of the Chicago Athletic Association, 12 S. Michigan Ave.

When? Saturday, October 12 at 7.30 a.m.

Where? 'Cloud Gate' sculpture, affectionately known as 'The Bean' in Millennium Park (see picture).

Visit the 261 Club Metro Chicago cheer zone on the Marathon course on Sunday. Let's gather to cheer all the runners and show then our support. Look out for the 261 banner, and stop by for hugs, high fives, and energy to get you through to the end.
