Course

The course will be run counterclockwise this year.

The 7.1 mile course goes around beautiful Lake Mingo at Kennekuk Cove County Park near Danville, Illinois. This race is 90% single track dirt trail , 7% grasslands and 3% rock & asphalt. You get to cross the long earthen dam and the small, gated dam that creates Lake Mingo. There are numerous hills, 9 bridges and marshland.  In the deep woods  you may see deer, wild turkeys, geese, wood ducks, snakes and giant blue Heron. Depending on the weather, you may get wet and muddy. Or you might be hot as heck and needing to visit that hydration station halfway around the lake. If a storm washes out one of the bridges... there may be a creek crossing. How fun would that be? 

NO TIME LIMIT!
