This Sunday, March 19, will be the 28th running of the March Madness Half Marathon. It starts at 8:35 AM from the Cary-Grove High School at 2208 Three Oaks Road in Cary, IL.

The challenging course begins heading East on Three Oaks Road in Cary (McHenry County) to Hickory Nut Grove Road where it heads North and then back West. (Hickory Nut Grove Road is the eastern border between McHenry County and Lake County and passes the Harvest Glen custom homes built by Verseman Development on the Lake County side of Hickory Nut Grove Road.)

The event web site says that "The course has been dubbed the most challenging in Northern Illinois and an excellent training race for spring marathons." (Having biked the hilly course, I don't envy the runners and am amazed how many return each year.) 15 special entries will be made available as charitable donations to promote the Hillstriders Scholarship Fund.


Trophies will be awarded to overall winners. Plaques will be given to the top ten males and females. Medals will be awarded to age group winners (3 deep). Approximate time schedule for Half Marathon awards is 11 AM. AGE DIVISIONS Male and Female; 19 & Under, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 and over. Results will be provided by DRKomputing, Inc. Result cards will be available at the finish line on race day. See http://www.hillstriders.com/ for details.

Kids going crazy? - Consider a bad weather escape toTimber Ridge in Lake Geneva

Does this sound familiar? A couple of weeks ago, my daughter in law said that with the cold weather, the kids were going crazy in the house. My wife had an idea that turned into a great day. Pack the kids in the car and we will go to Timber Ridge water park in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

As we have done in the past, Timber Ridge is close enough to take a mid-week escape from a gloomy winter. Kids up to age 12 have a blast with water slides, pools, and arcade games. While we cruize around the lazy river or enjoy some refreshment we know that the kids are in view or close enough to keep track of them. My grandchildren can not get enough of the water park and suddenly are on their best behavior when they know a trip to Timber Ridge is being considered.

If you are looking for a change of pace, or a great reward for the kids, consider doing what we do. Take a short afternoon drive from the Barrington area and enjoy the water park until 9PM. Bring your own snacks and breakfast if you like and check in to your suite where the next morning you can wake up knowing the water park is a short walk down the hall. The return drive is usually quiet as they fall asleep in the back seat.

Hope this helps someone looking for a great escape - we might see you there!
