THE COURSE

The 5K course is located at 511 Lake Zurich Rd. (at Rte 14), Barrington, Il at the beautiful Citizens Park. The course will consist of an open field start to spread the racers out and then narrowing into meandering prairie and wooded trails looping back to the start. We just need mother nature to cooperate with the snow.
