Race Rating (4 people)
4.5

The Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K course starts and finishes in Chicago's Grant Park and mirrors segments of the famed Chicago Marathon route. The flat and fast course is home to many personal bests and world class performaces, including the women's American 8K record (24:36) set by Deena Kastor in 2005, and the course record (22:35) set by Kenya's James Kariuki in 1998.

Excellent race - very well organized this year. Overall a great race that I would recommend to anyone!

I really love the Shamrock Shuffle. It's a race that means not only running with thousands of other and supporters, but also breaking out of the winter hibernation. I liked the adjustments to the course this year, there were more turns, less straight-aways, making it more interesting. Also, running a PR always helps matters.

This was my first time running the Shamrock Shuffle but it is definitely a 'must-do' race in Chicago as the 'unofficial/official' running season opener. A great way to kick off spring even though it can be snowing and cold the day of the race (as it has been the last two years!) Love that fact that the start and finish are the same as the Chicago Marathon, It helps me imagine turning the corner on Columbus Dr. and charging toward that finish line on 10-10-10!

A great season opener! This is my 3rd year doing this race and I enjoyed it more and more every year irregardless of the weather; the weather can be 60s sometimes or 30s like it was this year (2010). Shamrock Shuffle is a signature race for Chicago.
