They have a 5K and a 10K race on the same morning. It's a very flat but scenic course through Oak Park. You run by some Frank Lloyd Wright houses, hence the name of the race. There is plenty of parking nearby for those commuting from outside the Oak Park River Forest High School neighborhood. There are some booths and tents at the end, and the food/drink provided at the finish is fine. The t-shirt is a long-sleeve cotton shirt. This is a great course to try and set a PR!

This was this marathon's first year, and it was a great race! It's totally flat and winds around the campus and through residential areas. There were a lot of people from the town cheering, and the aid stations were adequate. The shirt the first year was awesome! It was a dry-fit, long-sleeved, half-zip. The only downside to this race is that it's in the early spring, so you have to train in the winter. It's a great race, though!
