What time does the Shamrock Shuffle start?
Wheelchair racers start the Shuffle at 8:25 a.m., followed by Wave 1 at 8:30 a.m. The 2-mile walk component of the event begins at 9:30 a.m.
How to watch the race in person
Those cheering on runners can observe the duration of the race in one of two ways: individually or in a reserved Cheer Zone.
Individual supporters can stand behind the gated sidelines of the race path along the entire course. Cheer Zones for groups will be listed as a Cheer Zone on the course map.
But if you're going in person, you'll likely want to check for road closures as you navigate around the course.
How to watch the race live wherever you are
Not planning to be at Grant Park in person but still want to watch your friends and families finish the race?
