Champions Run 10K & 5K

I would classify this event in the fun run category.
This year (2011) was a rainy run. I actually enjoy running in the rain, it’s refreshing and puddle jumping keeps my mind off the task at hand… running.
The race route for the 10K (and 5K) were along bike and running paths in Montrose Harbor. At times the race was intermingled with recreational runners and group workouts using the same running paths. The route at times was a little narrow and because of the rain it was filled with puddles. However, this race doesn’t have a huge runner turnout (compared to other races I’ve run this was small)…so it worked out on a narrower trail okay.
The after «party» had nice perks. A breakfast of eggs, sausage, bananas, bagels, beer, and cookies. Plus a finishers pint glass.
Would I do it again? Maybe.

Can you think of anything better than this: «Breakfast of Champions» breakfast of eggs, meat and BEER? Probably not!
I like running, eggs, meat, and I really love beer so I signed up for the Champions Run 5k.
I’m a huge fan of ASM because they know how to execute a fun race. They had a Groupon for the Champions Run (score!), their races aren’t too big (no bottle necks on the course), I love their dri-​fit shirts (better then most races), they have great partners who have pretty sweet giveaways at the end of the raced (5 hour energy and Skinny Water for this particular race), and I got a finishers pint glass at the end (don’t forget your ID in your car if you want your free beer, damn).
***I didn’t eat the food after the race because I was muddy, sweaty, and just wanted to get the heck outta dodge, so I have no comment on the food***
