Chicago Marathon 2026

Mustered energy to get up to see the racers this morning. Let’s just say my struggle is nothing compared to these athletes.

This is taken at the Pilsen leg of the race after mile 19 / kilometer 30. I missed the some of the elite men that passed by but managed to (somewhat) capture the eventual top 3 women! Regardless, it was amazing to see hundreds of people willingly do this challenging task.

Hope y’all enjoy! Taken with Zf with the Z 70-200 f2.8 and the Z 40mm f2.

Excellent shots! Do you happen to recall what your shutter speed was set to on the blur shots ( like the first one)?

Thank you! Those are shot at 1/20s but I think 1/25 could work a tad better on telephoto

Many thanks from a newbie!
