As runners and supporters gear up for marathon weekend coming up on October 11th, Chicago restaurants are offering special ways to refuel, celebrate, and toast the city’s biggest race. From elevated post-run comfort food to festive brunch experiences, these destinations are perfect for both pre- and post-marathon indulgence. Here are just a few to check out!

Casa Chi by Chef Richard Sandoval: Before the race, guests can raise a glass with the restaurant’s “Reform Cocktails,” each under 120 calories, then return on Marathon Sunday to enjoy a celebratory three-course Boozy Tea experience for $48 per person.

Toro: Located steps from the start and finish line, Toro is offering a complimentary classic margarita, glass of bubbles or draft beer when runners show their Chicago Marathon finisher metal, with purchase.
