This race is a nice opportunity to get some friends together on a weeknight to run.

The start was centrally located and had plenty of people embracing the theme with baguettes, berets, and other french things.

The race was organized fine as there was a relatively small field sorted by pace at the start line. The course was some paths around Lincoln Park which might be pretty fun if you are not from around here but having run these trails many times it wasn't that interesting and there were not many on-course distractions.

The post-race was fine but we got our beer and walked down to Crisp for some better grub. All in all- it's not expensive and a good excuse to get people together. The race itself is just so-so.

I didn't like the t-shirt either- too much print on the front.
