Event Details

Whether you are embarking on your first half marathon, looking for a scenic fall race or for excellent warm-up your fall marathon – the Foot Mechanics Half Madness 13.1 event is the race for all runners who'd like to make their way to this northern Illinois town, just outside Chicago.

Set in the historic town of Batavia, Illinois in Chicagoland's western suburbs, you will find this quaint river town warm, friendly and inviting. Race organizers have put together a rolling course that will take athletes through these historic streets and along the Fox River before finishing back at the start along the River walk area.

The inaugural race in 2008 attracted 1,000 runners and earned the accolades from racers, spectators, volunteers and city residents for its organization and post race festivities. The committee is made up of seasoned endurance athletes who put all of the practices in place to create not just a race, but a true event. If you want to be a part of this event, simply go to the web site at www.halfmadness.com and sign up today!
