About the Ross Bogue Memorial Run the Hills 5k
The name says it plainly: this course in Barrington Hills has real hills. It is an out-and-back route, so you know what is coming on the return. The terrain is scenic but demanding, and the course is accurately measured rather than an estimate.
Aid stations sit just before and after the turnaround, which is a useful place to have them on a hilly out-and-back. Age group awards go several places deep across a wide range of categories, so a lot of runners leave with hardware.
