This race is located in the Southside so it's kind of a trek for Northsiders. I bought the shuttle ticket and arrived 2 hours before racetime, it threw everything off for me and I had to figure out how to use a porta-potty in the dark. Course is pretty flat, you run around Jackson Park then up and down LSD and finish back in the park. Every year I say it's my last time (because of the location) but it works well with the Chicago Marathon training schedule.
