  • Comments: Race used 'disposable timing chips' they had a computer inside that would print personal results. That was cool. This is a well organized race and has been enjoyable in the past. I think it was 2002 it was about 60F out. I recommend it as a good race to run early in season. Never sure of waht kind of weather.

  • Comments: Like doing this race, the weather can be unpredictable as last year it was beautiful and today snowy and windy, but overall a good race for me to run. My official time has been posted a few seconds faster. Although looking at my competition need to work a little harder. :)

  • Comments: GREAT race. Course is almost custom-made for PR's. Food afterwards was pretty excellent as well. Definitely a great way to start out the racing season!

  • Comments: The race was nice for this time of the year. The end of the race goody give away could have been better. And the bag check was in a small space so the line was big.

  • Comments: This is a flat and fast course for anyone looking to run a good time. It's also a Chicago race, but decently sized--not one of the overwhelming 30,000+ runners type events. I've done it the last three years in a row and will likely be back next year as well.

  • Comments: No water upstairs where the snacks were. That was bad. Everything else was good though. Well run race, on time, plenty of volunteers, and lots and lots of snacks afterwards. :)
