With thousands of runners hitting Chicago streets for Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon, it might seem challenging to know where your favorite runner is along the 26.2-mile route.
To make things easier, there is a way you can track runners along their journey. As your favorite runner approaches the finish line, you can also stream NBC Chicago's live finish line camera to watch them as they cross.
Here's a look at how to track and watch:

To add registered participants to their tracking list, users can search their name and add them to their favorites. Users can track up to 20 runners through the app, which also includes an interactive course map, a schedule of events and race photos.
Spectators will even be able to submit a "digital cheer" through the app, which might even be displayed on the course as your participant goes by, according to the marathon's website.
