There are many reasons to dislike this race. For starters, it’s a 3.5-mile race, so you’re running at a breakneck 5k speed the entire time but you have to keep it up for an additional, painstaking 0.4 miles at the end. Most of the course takes place in the sewer-like tunnels of lower Wacker Drive, and before you even start, you have to listen to an announcer try and get the crowd excited about a financial conglomerate’s Regional Director of Consumer Bankinggggg!!!! However, this is a race that is usually subsidized by the firms participating in it, so I’ve always gotten a free bib. I’ll never say no to a free race, no matter how much corporate back-patting is involved. Plus, the course starts and ends on Columbus Drive, which is Chicago’s racing core.
