Rita 's thoughts:

I most likely will not be signing up for this race again unless there are significant changes made.

Pros:
This race supports a great cause, education. I was nice to see so many kids, parents, and educators participating.
The shirt is pretty cool, but not made from a tech material.

Cons:
The biggest downside of this race was that the roads were not closed. There were police helping at major intersections, but with so many kid running the race the roads need to be closed. I spent parts of my run stopping cars so kids could cross the smaller intersections.
Packet pick-up was a disaster. I live about 20 minutes from Highland Park where the packet pick-up was. I drove out there the first day of packet pick-up to be told that the website was wrong and that packet pick-up was not for another four days. I drove out the first "real" day of packet pick-up and was told that they had already run out of shirts, even though I had registered for the event well in advance. I was told to try again day of the race. Race day I was told I would receive an email about the shirts when they arrived. I finally was able to pick-up my shirt about a month after the race. By the time I had gotten the email, I had already forgotten about the shirt.
Also, the race is not timed.
Overall, I expected more form a race in Glencoe.
