Bib 59525 · Chicago 2026

Jo Metzke

This is my 34th marathon and my 10th Chicago. I never have anyone in the crowd to cheer me on as I travel alone to run marathons. So a little cheer would be amazing! I currently live in LA for the past 3 yrs ( great that the plane trip is a lot shorter now!). Born in Perth but call Sydney home!

See everyone running

Look for this

This is what Jo told us they'd be wearing at sign-up — and the loudest cheer of the day when they come through.

Top: Pink tee
Bottoms: Black tights
Also: I do not know which top I will wear could be pale pink or a pale green. I tend to make my mind up on the day! White Cap. Will have hydration belt on. Not sure about colour top but if a cool day I will similar looking black tights on
