-Simple
-Honest
-Community-powered
-Experience-driven
No loops.
No city streets.
Just real miles across rural Illinois.
Race Day Logistics & Transportation:
This is a point-to-point race, and we’ve planned it that way on purpose.
To keep the course clear, safe, and runner-first, we’ve built in simple logistics that just work:
A race shuttle bus will transport solo runners back to the start line after finishing
Relay teams may stage vehicles at exchange points or bring a non-running driver
Multiple access roads allow smooth runner pickups at exchange locations
Course design keeps vehicle traffic off the race path as much as possible
What this means for you:
No dodging cars
No chaotic handoffs
No confusion at exchanges
Just running.
The result is a race that’s organized, safe, and actually fun — whether you’re running solo or with a team.
We’ve thought through the details so you can focus on what matters:
crossing rivers, covering miles, and finishing strong.
