This race has so much going for it. Great town to explore if you are coming in from out of state, nice course, great race day organization, and awesome volunteers! The course is a little around town (a little over a mile) then out and back on the Fox River Trail. There were aid stations about every two miles and park restrooms to use on course. Aid stations had some “ultra” type offerings that was fun. I had a terrible race so by the time I finished the “after” party was pretty much over, all the vendors were gone but there was still chocolate iced donuts, brownies and hot chocolate to drink. Where I got a bit frustrated with this race was the information side of things. The website is very minimal and never really updated with swag or 2024 information until a couple weeks beforehand. Received a lot of emails about having to pickup your own packet but not a lot of other information. Finding results afterwards was extremely hard. An email to your individual results was sent in the evening but I still don’t know how you would find the results without that link. I really appreciate when races have clear information and results are easily found. There is nothing that is an absolute deal breaker for me but it definitely has room for improvement.
