Expo Exhibitor Information
The Chicago Half Marathon Health & Fitness Expo promises to provide the best opportunity to promote and market your company’s products and services in the greater Chicago area. The expo is held in conjunction with the 14th Annual Chicago Half Marathon with an expected 20,000 participants. The scenic 13.1-mile course will start and finish in Jackson Park and showcase the south lakefront and the Jackson Park Golf Course.
The Chicago Half Marathon Health & Fitness Expo will take place on September 10 and 11, 2010 at the historic Navy Pier in Chicago. The Expo will serve as the pick-up location for Race numbers, t-shirts and Goodie Bags for all participants. Participants must visit the Expo to pickup their bib numbers, as there is no Race Day pickup. Plan now to be involved and catch all the excitement of the Chicago Half Marathon and the Health & Fitness Expo.
