course
This fast course features 4 primary corners and a quick chicane as you approach turn 2 to the backstretch. The course is very flat and very fast, around the perimeter of Elmhurst University. The finishing stretch does feature a modest kicker that will test the resilience of even the strongest racers as you race to the finish line.
