Location of Start / Finish Area & Parking
Location: Marlowe Middle School, 9625 Haligus Road, Lake in the Hills, IL 60156. The Run/Walk and Kids Dash will begin on the back (West) side of the building. However, all participants will park in the lot by the front entrance of Marlowe (the East side of the building) and walk through the building to the gym for pre-race stretching and refreshments. Then, runners will exit on the West side of the building to begin the race. If you pick up your packet on race day or register on race day, please allow enough time to return your items to your vehicle, as there is no gear check, before returning to the start line to begin the race. Volunteers will be on-site directing parking. Overflow parking may need to park in another school's lot on the same campus, so please come early or plan on parking far away and walking to the race start line.
Course Map

Timing, Age Groups, & Awards
Race Time will be on hand to provide finish times to all runners and walkers participating in the 5K!!

Please note results are not official until after the event. Medals will be given to the male and female top 3 in each age division (14 and under, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65 and older) and the overall male and female finishers. Male and female overall winners will receive a medal and a Running Depot $50 gift card as well as some other goodies. Age group winners will receive a medal and a prize to be announced soon.
