..From a friend, who did that horrendously hot Chicago Marathon last year.
The race that was cancelled in mid-stream due to the weather:

I wasn't paying too much attention to all the minor details, I just heard the bits and pieces from many media reports and friends who "were there".
Is there a t-shirt yet on this infamous race?
"The Windy City
"My parents were at the disastrous 2007 Chicago Marathon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"....
(:
So....
My friend told the story of his experience, not being allowed to finish, corralled at mile 16-17 and forced to finish a few miles later, and then they received a finisher's medal!
WHAT!!!
Are they mad, or just super-disorganized....
Or too worried that 20,000 refunds had to be administered???
