Run Wisconsin Race Series 2026 — Lake Zurich, IL
Course & Travel Notes
Heading to Lake Zurich for the Run Wisconsin Race Series on New Year's Eve? You'll want to fly into Chicago Executive Airport, which is just 10.5 miles away, making for a quick and easy trip to the venue. The race kicks off at 9:00 AM, so you'll have plenty of time after sunrise at 7:21 AM to grab breakfast and get ready. Bundle up though—late December in this area typically sees highs around 34°F and lows near 20°F, with about a third of days bringing some rain, so waterproof gear is definitely worth packing. The venue sits at 863 feet elevation, so nothing too extreme to worry about, but the cold and potential wet conditions are the main things to prepare for.
