Trail Races in Illinois: The 6 Races Worth Training For
Illinois trail racing is anchored by the Potawatomi Trail Runs at McNaughton Park in Pekin, a looped course that scales from 10 miles up to a 200 miler on the same rolling Midwest forest trail. It is flatter than the mountain-state calendar, so pace and repetition do the work that elevation does elsewhere.
