Last year, I ran the Hyundai 5k while my friends ran the half, since I was nursing an injury. This year I was able to run the half.

Very impressed with the race. I thought it was very well managed. It went off on time, and the course was well marked. A bit crowded at first, but that's okay. The stretch on Lake Shore Dr. was wonderful. I was worried about the new black top, but it turned out that it was fine.

The post race party was a bit too crowded for my taste. We didn't even try to get into the beer area it was so crowded.

Times popped up right away.

I loved the fact that my name was on my bib. Heard my name a few times during the race, yelled by spectators.

Overall, great experience. I will be back next year.
