Course & Travel Notes
You'll want to get to Rockford early on race morning since the gun goes off at 6:00 AM, just 41 minutes after sunrise—so it'll still be pretty dark when you're getting settled. The good news is Chicago Rockford International Airport is super close at less than 5 miles away, making it easy to fly in and get to the venue without a long drive. Pack layers for mid-June in Illinois, where you're typically looking at highs around 81°F and lows near 60°F, though there's about a 40% chance of rain that week, so definitely bring a rain jacket just in case.
