The Super Shuffle 5K is put on by the Geneva Park District and coincides with a community super bowl party held the same morning. The registration fee includes a nice quality cotton hoodie with the Super Shuffle logo on it.
Because it is in February, the weather can by wild. In 2014, it was super cold with 10" of new snow on the ground and in 2015, it was run right in the middle of a snow storm. Who knows what future races will bring. Although there are walkers, the running pack is fairly fast -- I guess the weather weeds out some of the back of the packers.
The run is done on a paved path that circles a pretty park. There are one or two hills -- nothing significant -- and, the path is wide enough to accommodate all the runners. There is one water station in the middle (which is plenty) and water is provided at the end. Each participant is also given a participant's medal upon completion.
After the race, each runner is given a beer at the community party and other food is available. All in all the is a great way to start off Super Bowl Sunday.
