Robin 's thoughts:

My buddies and I found this race on Amazon Locals for $25 and we all signed up. When race day came it was a nice day weather wise but the parking situation was horrible. Expensive meter parking all throughout the neighborhood. Once we got parking and got to the corral the race was starting to look up. As we began the race and the course lead us to the lakefront path the race experience took a dive. We had to share the course with other runners and cyclist. At one point in the race we had to run across the path to go under a bridge but we had to run around the cyclist and other runners on the course. Once we were coming down to the finishline we were fooled to think that the end was near until the course marshalls directed us around to keep going further out to loop back to cross the finishline.

Overall the race was okay for the price we paid, but I would never run this race again because of the course.
