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.
