This was my third year in a row running this race! I love everything about it. I love the city, the course, the swag, and the CHOCLATE.
This year the course changed from the pervious 2 years and I LOVED this course better. The out and back at like 5 ish was gone! you run on the lakefront bike path and go into Grant party. I was beautiful on the chilly morning. The swag this year was fantastic. For women, it was a purple 1/4 zip. In the past years, it has been a neutral color and it was great to have some color added. The expo was in a different location in the McCormick Place. I was a little crowded with the vendors and the lots of people. Could barely move. Overall, I love this race and we love driving to Chicago every year for a long weekend! Can't wait to do it again next year.
