Soldier Field 10 Miler is one of the best races in the city of Chicago. They just do everything right - awesome course that follows a lot of the lake shore path, perfectly organized starting line, aid stations are perfectly set up (paper cups with energy drink FIRST and water SECOND so you don't leave the aid station with a sugary taste in your mouth), and a very cool finish on the 50 yard line in Solider Field.

I mean, I'm a huge Green Bay Packer fan and I love this race. That has to say something!

I've done this race three times now and it's a staple on my racing calendar going forward.
