I had the opportunity to run the IBJI Monster Dash fun run and while the weather didn't cooperate, it was still fun.
To start with, the t-shirt is outstanding though too many runners didn't get theirs at the race and will be emailed at a later date. Luckily I registered early and picked up my stuff early.
The race was in downtown Glencoe and started out with cold rain, but that didn't stop people from flocking out and participating. There were many in costumes and this was primarily a family event.
I'll run it again but a few changes would be recommended:
1. Communicate a little better with the packet pick-ups. The website said Monday, but the stuff wasn't ready until Thursday.
2. Get a time-chip for the race. While it's a fun run, many people commented on getting their official times.
3. Notify people of the race photos as there were a few photographers but no info on where or when the photos would be posted.
