Whether you are embarking on your first half marathon,
looking for a scenic Fall race, or looking for a great warm-up
race for the Chicago, Milwaukee and Twin Cities Marathons,
this is the race for you!
Race organizers have put together a rolling course that will
bring athletes through historic Batavia, Illinois, and along the
Fox River. The course was designed to give first-time half marathoners a less-crowdeed alternative to other Chicago
half marathons while also presenting a serious challenge
for experienced runners looking to get their feet wet
before their main Fall event.
All Half Marathon runners will receive:
A technical running shirt
(Size requests are not guaranteed
for sign-ups after Aug. 1, 2009)
A finisher medal
Post-race party
Discount to CARA, Fox River Trail Runners,
