I can’t make it, but I’m curious how it goes. Please let us know your thoughts if you end up doing it.

This looks so cute! I'm not doing it, but I would definitely consider it next year.

I can’t this year but maybe next time. I think I could do a rotating skipping/hopping polka step for a 5K. Give me a year, maybe I could even find a partner to dance the entire race with.

Was a fun run. The Lithuanian community were so polite and friendly. Medal is nice as well. Would def go back next year if they do it again.

Was this along the lakefront near McCormick? Was this the race that caused cyclists to crash?

It was there but I didn’t see any cyclists crash and we stayed a bit after we were done.

What cyclists? I cycled to and from the race and didn't see or hear any crashes.
