Reports and event feedback

Participant feedback · mychicagoathlete.com ↗
Mandi Florip (Chicago Athlete) · 2025
Florip enjoyed the lighthouse, lakefront scenery and clear course markings, and said staggered starts gave runners room. Mid-race hills and increasing humidity made the later miles difficult. She finished with a positive impression and wanted to return.
