New Course, Start/Finish Line and Race Distances for 2013 - October 19, 2013
50K (5
myriameter)
10.6 and 4.5 mile races
The Forest Glen Preserve is a beautiful beech-maple and oak-hickory forested Nature Preserve. The race will coincide with peak fall foliage. The race is a fundraiser for the Vermilion County Conservation District Foundation and all registration fees go directly to the Foundation. The new 10.6 mile course wanders along the streams and the Vermilion River. The course is easier than the previous year's course, although quite challenging; mostly single tract wooded running with steep up and downhills. Be sure that this will challenge the most hardy trail runner!
If you have questions about the preserve call 217-662-2142 or visit Forest Glen general information
