Does anyone know any walking marathons in Chicago?

Question

I would like to start training for one in the very near future, and I have no idea where to start. Does anyone know where I can start on my research?

Here are some links:

The Chicago Marathon is full, but if you are willing to travel, the Milwaukee and Appleton ones are open (as far as I know). There's a half Marathon in September in Crystal Lake, IL (you'll want to sign up for that ASAP).

Drop me a line if you need further help.

Good luck.
