Covered this race more thoroughly in last year's review, so shorter comments here:

The Buffalo Grove Stampede races are solid and predictable--well-established, well-run, and in the past few years the warmer weather has made it challenging. The 10k and 5k starts are offset by 45 minutes, making a double feasible and popular for faster runners.

Full course video of the 5k here, with a GoPro: https://youtu.be/hDNGISEjbg0 . The first half is through residential neighborhoods, the last half mostly through parkland paths. Would be nice to have a more inspiring finish line than a parking lot, but that's a minor quibble.

They gave out finisher's medals for both races this year, in addition to attractive age group award medals. Long sleeve tech shirt, same design every year in different colors.

Always well done and always recommended.
