The 2022 Chicago Marathon added a nonbinary division in a quiet manner some runners found 'hurtful.'
Bank of America Chicago Marathon street closures start Monday. See the full list of road closures scheduled in the Grant Park area.The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is one of the most prestigious races, drawing runners from around the globe. So when Cal Calamia heard that the race on Sunday had opened a nonbinary runner category for first time ever, they were ecstatic.
The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is the second major marathon in the country to open a division for nonbinary runners, following the New York City Marathon last year. Two other World Major Marathons, London and Boston, will host nonbinary divisions in their 2023 races. North Sider Jessica Gorden-Song learned about the Chicago marathon's new nonbinary division Tuesday morning when reached by a reporter.
Asked about the lack of an announcement or parity with the gendered races, Sawyer wrote in an email: "While we're excited to introduce the nonbinary division, we recognize the opportunity for continued dialogue, learning and progress with our event. Discussions are ongoing with non-binary participants and leaders within our sport to work together towards our goal of creating more inclusive event experiences."Nonbinary runners are still eligible for age group awards, Sawyer said.
