Chicago Marathon From the Inside

I found this user submitted video on Runners World’s web site today (best I can do is a link, no embedding of their videos it seems.) One of the runners took this with what I’m guessing is a cell phone.  I can say I don’t remember it looking quite this chaotic when I ran through, but it was pretty close.  This looks like the earlier aid stations and I don’t remember as many people walking. Also, the desperate sounding cries of "water!" are not the runners, but the volunteers letting runners know they are holding out cups of water.

I didn’t see people dunking themselves in the above pictured fountain, but did see people wade into this fountain on the north end of Lincoln Park.  The image from Microsoft Virtual Earth looking East. The road at the bottom is Stockton. Click the picture to see it on Virtual Earth

My guess is the RW video is not the last, though I haven’t gone looking for more.

Update:  I guess all I had to do was look.  There are quite a few videos people shot on the course.  This one shows the fountain I was talking about (shaky at best):
