Re: Northwest Trail Run - 5 and 10 Mile Race Reviews

Well run race, surprisingly tough course. Much of the course goes through narrow dirt trails, lots of sharp turns, sudden uphills. Very challenging, a much different experience than a road race, so be prepared. I ran the 10 mile course, but my watch said 9.7 miles at the end, so maybe a tad short, or I cut a few corners.

Enjoyed this race. Accurate distance, almost completely flat and scenic route around a lake. Plus free chili and beer after the race. Not bad! Well run, small event.

Generally a good experience, nice to have a March event in the western suburbs. But, three things to criticize: (1) in my race packet, I received the wrong size shirt and they did not have any more my size (similar to the other reviewer above); (2) the 10K also was short (6.14 miles according to my watch, which is generally very accurate); (3) the running surface on the blacktop trail was very slippery due to moisture (not something within the race organizer's control, but it was distracting). The race was well-staffed with volunteers.
