For 8 OCT 2017 Chicago Marathon, you can easily get to St. James from 29th and State. You can take I-55 going west (“south”) and exit onto State going south. You can take I-90/I-94 going north (“west”) and exit to 31st Street going east. [The southbound (“eastbound”) I-90/I-94 exit to 31st will be closed.] If you are east of Michigan Ave., take King Drive north to 24th Place, west to State (sort of getting on and off I-55 briefly), and south to 29th. ALLOW YOURSELF EXTRA TIME. A map is here:
