Julia Montag's thoughts:

The Chase Challenge is a great experience if you're able to get your company together for it. I had the most fun seeing coworkers who never run or exercise having a blast at the event.

That said, from a runner standpoint I had some beef.
1. I'm never a fan of corrals that don't require time submitted. A lot of people participating have not participated in a road race before, so 50% of the people starts in the first corral were walkers. I spent most of my time trying to get around people, but the street was so crowded, it was tough to move anywhere.
2. Too many course cutters! The path was not very clearly marked, but there were far too many people cutting clear corners.
3. No Medals. I like the bling :)

That said, the race was a decent course through the city, it was fun to get people running who don't normally, and it's a cool company pride event. It's not worth the $47 sign up fee.
