This was a fun, low key race at Jackson Park to benefit Whitney Young High School. The course was a flat and fast out and back on the lakeshore path with the start and finish at Jackson Park. There was a water station at the halfway point for everyone who needed it. Everyone at the race was nice and my husband and I had a great time! Another cool part of the race was first place won a free pair of shoes-something us runners can never get enough of!

Course is flat and fast-great place to try to get a 5k PR! The course goes around the beautiful Ravenswood neighborhood and everything is well marked and easy tonfollow. All the race volunteers/workers are very nice and helpful. I ran without training in 2017...but plan on running and training for this race in 2018.

This was my first half marathon in 2014 and it was a good experience minus my injury. The racing conditions were perfect-breezy and not too hot despite it being a June race. Everyone was super nice and worked diligently to make it a fun, safe, and efficient race. The directions are clearly marked and many aid stations. Definitely a good idea for your first half marathon!
