This race was extremely inspiring to run. I loved every moment of it. Everything was well organized. The packet pickup was a breeze. The race expo was a bit crowded, but the race itself was perfect. The course had great cheering crowds almost the entire route, the marines at every mile

Obviously you run the risk of freezing your tail off but thankfully the course they have is through nice and quiet streets with small hills. The fact you can stay inside the gym before and race the race if it's real cold helps alot.

Would run this race again.

Affordable run/walk event. Great avenue for kids, adults and seniors all in one place. Contribute to help underprivileged youth in Chicagoland.
