I'm running this next month and was just interested to know from anyone who has done it before whether the drinks are given out in bottles. I know this seems sad, but I ran the Florence last year where we just got cups and I had to take a drinks bottle to decant into as I need to drink constantly rather than once every couple of miles.
And what are these Clif shots they give you like?

Haven't run Chicago but would like to eventually, however I am running Florence this year (24 Nov) how was it? - apart from the drinks that is!!
I managed to get some sent from the States and have been trying them on my long runs. I agree - they taste far better than anything over here. The M-m-m-m Chocolate is like liquid Cadburies - you'd eat it even if you were a couch potato. Also have a clever mechanism for keeping the ripped top attached to the pack to reduce litter - they think of everything these Yanks!

They were excellent; it arrived about a week after I ordered it. Be careful of customs tax if you order some, though. They scribbled the amount I paid (about 8 dollars) on the envelope and the Royal Mail read it as 28 dollars. After about 17 pounds stirling you get a wacking import tax (about 15 quid), so don't spend too much - or spend a helluvalot to make it worthwhile!
