DENVER—Runners who participated in the Chicago Marathon but were unable to finish will be allowed to waive their entry fee for the Denver Marathon.
Some who raced in the Chicago run were unable to finish when organizers stopped the run midway through because of record high temperatures and a shortage of water.
Race organizers in Denver are allowing those who could not finish the ability to run for free.
“In response to many local Colorado runners who were hoping to complete the Chicago Marathon last weekend but could not finish, our race wants to give these runners another chance to reach the finish line,” Denver Marathon director Anton Villatoro said.
The Denver Marathon will begin Sunday at 8 a.m. The forecast calls for highs in the 50s with a chance for showers.
