Want to conquer a new race distance? Fort2Base is just the thing. This race’s distances of 10 or 3 nautical miles—that’s right, we said nautical miles—are perfect for those looking for an automatic PR. The patriotic theme is everywhere at this point-to-point race, which starts near Fort Sheridan, winds its way through military housing areas, and finishes near the Naval Station Great Lakes. The medal, T-shirts, and other swag (including a luggage tag!) stay true to the theme and were heavily complimented by all who recommended this unique race.
