 *  Oppose Support Edit 1 not a bad photograph, couple flaws though (light posts are very distracting and the people going the other way is confusing also probably not the sharpest image) that would be forgivable if there was EV, but there is virtually no EV for any of the above articles. Is this a regular race? If there was an article about this race I'd change my mind. — raeky  T  14:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I could crop out the lightposts on the left. This race is considered a tuneup race for the Chicago Marathon, occuring about a month in advance.  I believe it is one of the world's premier half marathons.  As for the stragglers still in the  first half of the course on the left, That is part of the natural composition of this image.  I don't think any half marathons are really considered notable enough to have their own articles.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:10, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Does it have a name and could you write an article on just this race alone? If this picture had it's own article I could see it having enough EV to get passed at VPC. Without it's own article it has almost no EV on any of those articles you have it in now. Something to consider. I like the view of the skyline in the background. — raeky  T  21:48, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * To add, if you cropped off the left light poles and successfully was able to clone the lights out of the sky on the left (shouldn't be too hard the sky is fairly monotone around them) then that would greatly improve the picture. — raeky  T  21:49, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Seeing how populated Category:Half marathons has become, I will see what I can do to create an article.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:19, 25 July 2010 (UTC)]
 * Change to support of Edit 1 based on new article, Chicago Half Marathon. — raeky  T  23:33, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
