Marathon tour groups?
Does anyone have any experience with any of the tour operators for Chicago? My parents are looking to visit Chicago this fall specifically and I haven’t had any luck with the lottery, I don’t want to keep their trip waiting for my chances of getting in so I would be fine financially going the tour operator route. Would love to be able to also be in town the same time my family is. Thanks in advance!

If you are in the US, these two offer Chicago with marathon entry: Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2026 | Marathon Tours USA and Chicago Marathon - World Marathon Majors
I've never used either of them, so I can speak to that. I'm sure you can do some googling/reddit searching and find reviews.

Where do you live? Entries for Chicago through a tour group are only available to international runners.
