Chicago Marathon 2025 – The Day Before the Race | Shakeout Runs, Runner Meetups & Pre-Race Vibes

Join my son Josiah and me as we soak in the electric atmosphere of Chicago Marathon weekend 2025! We start the day with the amazing @Believeintherun Shakeout Run, meeting fellow runners and feeling the excitement build before race day. I also stopped by the legendary @kofuzi Shakeout Run to catch up with the man himself — a true Chicago running icon! The energy, the community, and the kindness of everyone I met — including a runner who brought some very unique gifts all the way from Australia — made this day unforgettable. 🙌 To top it all off, I finally met Greg Itahara in person, who designed the artwork on my custom Nike singlet. In this vlog, Greg shares the story and meaning behind every detail of that incredible design. If you’re ran the Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2025 or dreaming of one day crossing that iconic finish line, this video captures the true spirit of Chicago’s running community — connection, passion, and inspiration. 🎥 Watch till the end, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more marathon vlogs, running motivation, and race day experiences from around the world. 🌍
