The inaugral Chicago Rock and Roll Half Marathon was one of the Rock and Roll series and was a big event. 18,000 runners hit the streets of Chicago at 6:30 am running through the down town area crossing the Chicago river 4 times before heading down Michigan Ave and then back along Lake Michigan. A gorgeous fast course finishing in Grant Park with all the perks, good food, concert, and 2 free beer, all before 9:30 in the morning. Oh well, its about the rewards to!
This event featured American Track Star Kara Goucher who finished 1:08. We are trying to do as many in the R&R series as we can this year.This was my 3rd event in and Tracys 2nd.
Way to go guys!
