Nice swag -- Plus, HOKA sponsored a 'mile' withint the 5k.
Participants predicted their time for one mile & if you
beat that time, were able to select a HOKA prize. So, I beat
the time I predicted & selected sunglasses for DH.
After the 5K (there was also a 10K) - were given a box lunch , Eli's cheesecake, beer, two tickets to the 2025 Taste of Chicago in Grant Park. The vendors were open to race participants until 11am. DH & I had Empanadas-- Spinach, Corn, Chicken, & Ham/Sheese. So delicious. Pretzels, Gatorade, Water, Bananas - no skimping!!!
You can see some of the vendors, too.
Chicago is a beautiful city on the edge of Lake Michigan. One of 2 ferris wheels (other one on Navy Pier).
View at night from the Blackstone Hotel on Michigan Avenue.
Chicago Reserve Roastery - When you visit Chicago,
Starbuck's on Michigan Ave is a MUST STOP.
Four Corners Winery had a 5K for an animal rescue -- horses.
Was a perfect day for it. Nice athletic top & finisher's medal.
Nice to have a sample of their white wine - and the setting/venue, so peaceful!!! I'd go back again ....
