The marathon isn't that great because it has such a weak schedule. The marathon is just lucky.

Good point. Here are the other marathons on October 22 in 2006:
Casino Niagara Int'l Marathon (ON - 10/22/06)
Duke City Marathon (NM - 10/22/06)
Kennebecasis Challenge Marathon (NB - 10/22/06)
Louisville Marathon (KY - 10/22/06)
Mystic Places Marathon (CT - 10/22/06)
Nike 26.2 (CA - 10/22/06)
On the Road for Education (IA - 10/22/06)
Wichita Marathon (KS - 10/22/06)
If Chicago had to go up against New York, Boston or even the new Indianapolis Marathon with it's 40,000 people, it would find itself in a lot of trouble. On the other hand, the Indianapolis Marathon is untested since it's never happened.
The Chicago Marathon had a weak schedule last year so it is playing a tougher schedule this year. It is returning to its old date (last year it was moved due to a convention in Chicago)
It will be on October 7, 2007
10/7/07 LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon Chicago IL
10/7/07 Crazy Horse Marathon Rapid City SD
10/7/07 Durango Marathon Durango CO
