SUMMARY:Third Friday Lecture - Causing a Stir: The First Chicago River Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Since the convening of the 2025 Chicago River Swim\, there has been much discussion about the necessity and the fallacy of swimming in the Chicago River.  Yet\, what did the very first swim marathon look like in 1907?  It was nothing short of a much-ridiculed\, much-attended\, international contest that broke hearts and gender barriers.  \n\nChicago Maritime Museum Associate Joe Gamble will discuss the long road to organizing the first marathon\, the drama that unfolded\, and the lasting effects it had on Chicago and cities across the nation.  The October 16  presentation is $5 for members and $10 for non-members\, and includes Bites & Beverages\, the museum’s volunteer-operated hospitality service\, which begins at 6:30. Seating is limited\, so reserve your place today. Virtual seats are also available with a live connection to the Q&A that follows.\nThis lecture is held in conjunction with Bridgeport Art Center’s Third Friday Open Studios. Please consider joining CMM for an annual family membership of $35 to enjoy unlimited visits\, access to the monthly newsletter and discounted tickets to special events.
