The EV9 is the best of two worlds. It’s a ruggedly powerful SUV with available AWD, 379 horsepower, and 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity. And, it’s a sleek and premium EV, with a three-row cabin, and Kia’s most advanced tech. It’s all the things you never knew you could have in one amazing vehicle.

GEAR CHECK

To facilitate a more efficient race experience, the Bank of America Chicago 13.1 encourages participants to leave personal items at home and to keep small items such as keys, money or phones on your person during the race. If you bring items to the Chicago 13.1 that you can’t carry with you during the race, you must check them using your event-issued gear check bag at gear check. The race day gear check tent is located in the lawn northeast of the bandshell in Garfield Park. The gear check tent will be open from 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

About gear check:

• You must check your gear using your event-issued clear plastic bag (participant bag). Please note that the event will not handle oversized bags or luggage. Please note, personal bags may not be inserted into the event issued clear bag.

• To check your gear, remove the gear check tag from your bib number and fasten it to your event-issued clear plastic bag using the instructions provided. When you arrive to the gear check tent you will line up based on the row number listed on your bib.

• Do not check valuable items, such as wallets, money, phones or jewelry. The Bank of America Chicago 13.1 is not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen items.

• Participants will not be permitted to run with a bag. All personal items must be checked at your assigned gear check tent before the race.

• Do not leave bags unattended within Garfield Park. Unattended bags will be confiscated and removed from the park.

• You are required to claim your bag from your assigned gear check tent by 11 a.m. on race day. Bags not claimed by 11 a.m. can be claimed through the Lost and found page of the event website. Any items unclaimed by Friday, June 30, 2024 will no longer be available.

Reuse and recycle! We encourage you to reuse your participant bag following the race. When you’re ready to dispose of the bag, remove the cotton string and take the bag to a retailer in your area that accepts plastic bags for recycling.

MEDICAL SUPPORT

Medical support is available at five on-course locations. Each is staffed by a team of medical professionals, is equipped with emergency and first aid supplies and has access to ambulance service.

If you feel like you need medical assistance on race day, you are encouraged to seek help from a medical volunteer or visit a medical tent in Garfield Park or on course.

Lend a hand, save a life! Participants, volunteers and event staff are encouraged to watch an instructional Hands-Only CPR video from the American Heart Association in advance of race weekend. This training is critical and can be lifesaving.
