The Bank of America Chicago Half Marathon took thousands of runners through the West Side this morning.
The race started and ended in Garfield Park, taking runners through Douglass and Humboldt Parks.
Participants had three hours and 15 minutes to run 13.1 miles, meaning at least a 15-minute mile was needed to complete the race in time.
Andrea Zmha is in from Atlanta, GA running the half as part of the Chicago Distance Series -- the Shamrock Shuffle 8K Run, Chicago 13.1 and Chicago Marathon.
"I've run 88 marathons so far and this will be my third Chicago [Marathon]."
Zouhair Talbi won for the men's division and overall race with a time of 1:01:08, while Meseret Belete Tola finished with a time of 1:09:36 for the women's division.
