About the ARMED FORCES RUN: 5K, 10K, 15K
All distances loop back to the track inside a high school stadium, so the finish line has a real crowd around it. The course heads out on bike paths along Ferris St and onto Lakeshore Drive, out-and-back the whole way, with no road crossings. A few aid stations are spread along the route.
The stadium lot handles parking for runners, volunteers, and spectators without much squeeze. Restrooms inside the building are open, not port-a-potties. Post-race, Country Dairy brings their Dutch chocolate milk to the finish area.
