Plan your stay for Chicago Marathon 2027
- Stay near your access point, not the whole course
- For Chicago Marathon 2027, match your hotel to the start, finish, grandstand or participant check-in that you will use. A city-wide course can have widely separated access points.
- Check closures before planning the trip
- Use the organizer’s latest course and access map. Road closures and controlled crossings can make an apparently short walk or drive impractical; plan a return route too.
- Participants and spectators have different needs
- Allow for early check-in or arrival and confirm permitted access, luggage storage and transport. Ask your hotel about early breakfast or late checkout rather than assuming either is available.

Frequently asked questions
When is the Chicago Marathon in 2027?
It is projected for Sunday, October 10, 2027, based on its usual second-Sunday-in-October timing. Confirm the official date before making nonrefundable bookings.
Where should I stay for the Chicago Marathon?
Start with the Loop or South Loop for access to Grant Park. River North and Streeterville are alternatives for dining and sightseeing. Check the route to your assigned start-area entrance rather than just the hotel’s proximity to the park.
