This race was excellent! The course was fantastic and was well maintained. It can be hard to keep a course maintained in Chicago, especially in the winter months!

The parking for the race is nearby but within a decent distance from where the race starts.

Packet pickup was fairly easy and happened at a nearby running shop the day before the race.

Prior to the race, there were plenty of fun things going on in the race area and lots of photo opportunities as well as places to put coats and such.

The race course runs near the lake and around the immediate area on a closed course. Watch out for ice as it is always possible depending on the recent weather in Chicago!

There are plenty of stations and areas to get assistance as needed along the course!

After the race, there is plenty of areas to get warm by some fire pits as well as more photo opportunities.

When we ran the race in 2016, they offered some free Kahlua drinks with coffee and also White Claw was there sponsoring some free seltzer samples.

Check out the race if you're in the Chicago area during December and enjoy some good fun!
