F^3 Cap Sauers Trail Marathon & 10 Mile

The Marathon course will be run on the Sag Valley Trail. The entire course is wide horsetrail, with little to no technical trail running required. There will often be 2-way traffic, so you should always feel the encouragement of your fellow runners. The Marathon course is three parts: 2 circuits of the 10 mile course, and a final 10k out-and-back to the WEST aid station & back. https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4192999816 This is a 26.2 mile marathon, not a 27 mile "marathon". The challenging part is the hills – with 1050 ft of elevation, this Marathon is ‘mountainous’ by Chicago standards. Aid will be available at the following approximate mile marks: 3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 20, 23. There is an aid station at each turnaround point on the course. There are porta-potties at the east and west ends of the course.
