"Love, love, love, the brats. Probably half the reason we run this race every year! Great post race celebration. There is obvious enthusiasm for the race and the runners. Just missed placing this year but still appreciate the ceremony afterward. Well done Itasca Running Club!"

2014 Race Participant
"I really enjoyed this race. The small entry was fantastic (sometimes you really just need a small entry race for some room), the unlimited beer and brats made it seem not only like Oktoberfest but also like true Illinois. The age group/team awards looked pretty sweet too -- beer steins, medals, trophies, etc. I'd absolutely do this race next year. It was nice and low-key, small entry, nice course, and the swag bag and post-race amenities were very nice. Thank you to the Itasca Runners Club for this great race!"
