Chicago Trail Series Renegade Trail run 10k. My first trail race, and it was fun. I should make more of an effort to get to trails. I was not sure what to expect, so I expected extreme and it wasn't. Somewhat hilly but not overly so--I never considered walking. Some stretches of dirt, but mostly crushed gravel. Seriously considering signing up for the 12k next month. Wore old shoes in case of bad mud, but unnecessary.
