Lisa Dretske's thoughts:

I've run this race the past 6 years, and it never disappoints. The race offers two distances: 2 mile and 10k distances. Registration is very cheap, only $15 per entry or $20 the day before the race. With your registration you get a nice tech t-shirt. Packet pickup is the day before the race, and right before the event.
At the start, the 2 milers and 10k racers all start at the same time. I wasn't sure if I liked this at first, but some families really like this, since they have multiple people in their group participating in the 2 distances. This year there was over 2,000 participants, so the start can be a bit congested. But if you start towards the front, then its not so bad. The 10k race is a giant loop around the north side of the city, towards Carthage College and back to downtown Kenosha. There are a few hills, but the majority of the race is flat and fast.
After the race, they hand you out water, donuts, cookies, and bananas. The awards are held inside the Kenosha Public Museum, which is a great location to wait for friends and family to finish. And its warm with real bathrooms! While waiting for the awards, they have laptops set up for people to check their time and ranking. Those who win their age group get a pumpkin pie. This has been the tradition as long as I've known.
Overall, this race is very well managed. There's no confusion on the course. There's 2 water stops for the 10k race, and the distance was exactly 6.2 miles. Parking is also very easy, since street parking is free. And you can't beat a $15 race!
