Ian 's thoughts:

Overall the race was really well done.
The course was really nice. Just a few awkward moment: Running under McCormic place seemed to screw up everyones watches and paces for the first mile and at the end of the 10K there was a really sharp turn to the last small straight away to the finish that was hard to take at full speed . Other than those two things the course was great, Lake front course routes can get a little congested and be filled with sharp and awkward turns but this one stayed clear of that.

One of the highlights for me was the separation of the 10K and the 5K races, starting an hour apart and on completely separate courses.

Post race celebrations were great and the finishers area was very well organized with towels, food and medals all spaced out to help with the flow of traffic.

Fleet Feet did an awesome job with packet pick up, very well organized.

Race Medals were awesome, did not really care for the shirt designs this year but that is just a personal preference.

Overall a solid race and event, I would 100% recommend this to a friend as well as do it again next year.
