Last Chance BQ.2 Marathon

Last Chance BQ.2 Marathon is a Boston-qualifying race held in Geneva, Illinois, at Fabyan Forest Preserve West, about 45 minutes west of Chicago. The event draws roughly 300 eligible runners from across North America who are chasing one last shot at Boston or a faster qualifying time. The course is a flat, fast, sheltered paved loop along the Fox River Trail, designed to encourage quick finishes.

The atmosphere blends competitive focus with supportive camaraderie as runners push to improve their times before Boston registration opens. Easy access from Chicago-area airports makes travel convenient for out-of-town participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
