Metra news release:

 

Take Metra to the Bank of America Chicago Marathon

Extra early morning and early afternoon service added on five lines

 

(Oct. 8, 2015) – Metra will operate extra early morning inbound and early afternoon outbound trains on five of its rail lines to accommodate participants and spectators attending this Sunday’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon. 

 

Extra service will be available on the BNSF, Metra Electric, Milwaukee North and Union Pacific West and Northwest lines. This service will operate in addition to regularly scheduled Sunday service.

 

“The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is one of the most prestigious annual marathons, and Metra accommodates thousands of participants and fans attending the event,” said Metra Executive Director/CEO Don Orseno. “Each year more and more people who travel into the city to experience the event are taking the train.”

 

Whether you are participating in the race or cheering from the sidelines, take advantage of Metra’s $8 unlimited ride Weekend Pass to get into the city. Plus, weekend “Family Fares” allow children 11 and under to ride free with a fare-paying adult.
