WORCESTER, Mass. — Spectrum News 1 producer and 98.5 The Sports Hub radio personality Tim McKone is running the Chicago Marathon this weekend. 

For McKone this will be his third Chicago Marathon and fourth overall, as he ran Boston last spring. 

He’s been training in Worcester and feels good and ready to go. 

“Training’s going well so far. It’s been four months, [the] first couple months were incredibly slow and now we’re just slow,” said McKone. “But no, we’re feeling good heading into this weekend. I’ll tell you what, training in Worcester certainly is a benefit.

“Chicago is incredibly flat, so if you run a 5-mile run out here in Worcester, you have more elevation than what this whole marathon is,” McKone continued. “And for me, that’s by design. We picked the easiest one possible, so that’s why we’re going all the way out to Chicago.” 

The marathon is on Sunday.
