In 2025 Runners Ran from McKaig to Chicago (and Beyond!)
Our 43 dedicated runners ran a phenomenal combined total of 724.17 miles! That incredible distance is roughly the equivalent of running from McKaig all the way to Chicago!
While about 20% of participants stayed for the entire 12-hour duration, we must give a special shout-out to one incredible 59-year-old runner who logged a phenomenal 50 miles, achieving a total elevation gain of about 7,000 vertical feet and taking 72,000 steps!
This massive effort was a crucial fundraiser, bringing in over $885 in donations to directly support McKaig’s trails and educational programs. Congratulations to all the runners!
