LOCATION:  Join us at Kickapoo State Recreation Area, West of Danville, Illinois. Take I-74 to Exit 206 or 210 and follow the signs to the par

COURSE SELECTION 
This event is a combination of 4 trails at Kickapoo State Park.  This event is not for the weak.  We invite you to run, jog, walk or crawl all four courses through this park and enjoy the trails and your friends while testing your strength, stamina, and endurance.
 
This will be a timed event. Starting at 8:00 am, you will have 8 hours to complete all four trails.  Bring a hydration pack or snack if you need them. 
 
The central checkpoint will be at the Ironwood Shelter, and you will have the opportunity to get granola bars and water here.   To snack on if you like.

Trail 1: Start with the Wilderness Out and Back.  The 6-mile course, which is 95% trail, heads east out of the park before turning into the woods, where the adventure begins. You will climb and descend steep hills, cross creeks and bridges, and, if lucky, see deer and other wildlife. This is a scenic and challenging run

Trail 2: Next up is the Clear Pond Trail
The 5K run is a rustic trail alongside the clear pond and takes you down the spooky hollow and up the Stairway to 7.  Follow the signs for the Clear (Pond) Trail.

Trail 3: Then mosey on over to the Mountain Goat Course for an out and back. Run down cemetery hill and up the next hill and take a hard left to run behind the fairgrounds and run across the newest Kickapoo Rail Trail Bridge and run the forgotten Mountain Goat Loop then come back to the checkpoint.

Trail 4: Last is the North Riverview trail. This will be the last out and back.  Head West and turn right by the landing and venture North up the hill. Follow the NV sign which takes you around the west side of the clear pond and make your way back to the checkpoint to finish.PARKING
