This race is in conjunction with the Big Foot Triathlon on the following day. The race is held at the Big Foot State Park in Lake Geneva, WI, so a state park sticker is required to park at the event. They offered a daily pass as well in case someone did not have the yearly pass already. I arrived an hour before the event which was more than enough time to pick up my packet, get front row parking, and relax for a while before the race. With the bib we received a very nice long sleeve hooded tech top and a RAM Racing drawstring bag.
The organization of the race was a bit lacking. I got the feeling that more focus was put on the triathlon the next day, and getting everything ready for that event instead of the trail races. It was very easy to pick up my packet, and a few vendors had tents set up, but no one knew where the race started, or how the corrals were going to be split.
At about 8 minutes before the race was supposed to begin, someone finally announced over a speaker where to start lining up. The corrals were split into people who anticipated running faster than a 9/min. mile pace or over.
The 10k was 2 loops of the 5k route. The route was clearly marked with cones and even stated mileage every half mile. The scenery was very pretty, going around a small lake, through the camp ground, and through the woods. Most of the way was either grass or mulch, but there was some pavement when running through the camp ground. Trail shoes were not necessary this day, since the route isn't very technical and the ground was not muddy.
Throughout the 10k there was 4 aid stations. They were staggered well for the 5k, but the race could have added one right when the 10k split off from the 5k. There was a big gap between the 2nd and 3rd aid station for such a hot day.
At the finish, they announced my name as I ran through the finish line. They also handed you a bag with some post-race food. Unfortunately my bagel was moldy so I had to toss that out. They also handed you an ice cold towel to put on her neck! This felt like heaven after the hot run. I also liked that Nuun Hydration was available to sample before and after the race. 2 things this race should include next year are 1) Finishers medals or at least age group medals 2) BEER! There was a beer area for the triathlon, but no beer for the trail races.
They did offer free race photos, but only from the finish line.

In summary:
Pros:
+nuun hydration
+Nice tech top
+Nice scenery

Cons:
-not well organized
-no beer :(
-no finishers medal or age group medal

I'm not sure if I'll personally do this race again, but this would be a good trail race for someone wanting to try their first trail 5k or 10k.
