Jacksonville, IL
The course runs on paved paths through Nichols Park, rolling through a series of small hills rather than staying flat. There is no individual timing, just a visual clock at the finish, so the atmosphere leans toward participation over pace.
Packet pickup is on race morning before the start. A water station sits at the halfway point, and there is water and a snack waiting at the finish.
