Eileen 's thoughts:

Top 5 Things I Liked About This Race:
1) great nike t-shirt & goodie bag after the race (they give you a bag with food in it - similar to lulu bag)
2) beautiful scenery along lake shore path - great views of the city
3) easy pick-up of bib & t-shirt - stopped into Old Town location think it took a total of 4 minutes to get in and out
4) easy FREE parking at solider field - was afraid i'd have to figure out public transportation down to the race but i was able to easily park on site for free
5) finish on the 50 yard line of solider field!

Top 5 Things I Didn't Like About the Race:
1) had to weave in and out of runners all the time. had to run on the grass at points to get around people. since you're just running on the lakeshore path there isn't a ton of room
2) aid stations were spaced out well, but again since it was a small path - it was hard not to slow down when going through aid stations because of so much traffic
3) not a ton of people cheering on the course - there was hardly anyone cheering on the course - everyone was waiting in the stadium which didn't really bother me but felt like a quieter run then
4) running through McCormick tunnel - not the best part of the course but at least you get it over with early on
5) That's it - I could only come up with those 4 :)
