Course

Course Description

The course is relatively flat with the exception of the infamous “Park Avenue” hill.  From there the route will take you through the historic Fort Sheridan and under the clock tower.  After that it’s a short jaunt over to the finish line where water, energy drink and food await your arrival. To up the ante, we’ve added 2 points of Live Course Entertainment!
