Chicago Marathon 2011 Poster



I have a brother in Chicago who is insane enough to pull this run off annually and someday I would love to accompany him on the exercise in pain management.

This year artist and art director, Brandon Knowlden, has created a series of posters to give to whomever donates to the American Liver Foundation. Knowlden is actually giving something to those willing to sponsor his race, and those who donate will get their choice of one of three pretty awesome personalized prints representing training for the marathon, running the marathon and finishing the marathon. Knowlden’s training sessions are broken into short, medium and long runs, and interested parties will sponsor $30, $40 and $50 for these runs respectively, with all proceeds going to the American Liver Foundation. Each print will come with the sponsor’s name and the distance and the average speed Knowlden ran. The posters are actually pretty cool and it's a clever way to really get the donations boosted. If interested, donate to Knowlden’s run here.
