Thanks to the 156 racers and all the great volunteers who made our first race a complete success! 

Thanks to chicagophotoshop.com for doing a wonderful job capturing the event. 

And thanks to all the people who made us laugh throughout the day (the teams that returned with spikey ten-pound durians, the teams that confused the 'cheezborger' SNL skit with the 'Superfan' SNL skit and ran into Ditka's demanding a 'cheezborger', and the guy that ran for 45 minutes gripping a single lychee in his hand). 

Two thumbs up for Julia McAvoy and Molly Conneen from Jam KABAM for running an extremely smart race and coming in 18-minutes ahead of the pack.  Kudos, too, to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place teams who came sprinting down Damen to the finish, only to have the cash prizes separated by about one second!  Great job to all!

Prizes:
1st - $300 to Jam KABAM
2nd - $200 to U.S. Americans
3rd - $100 to Sunday Funday

Most Creative Uniform - two Gift Cards to Billy Goat Tavern for Searching for the Booty.
