Course Summary

The 6/12/24-Hour races will take runners on a 1.56637KM (or 0.9732971994 mile) USATF certified paved loop course around a lake in Lisle Community Park, Lisle, IL that is well-marked and well-decorated. Runners will travel in the clockwise direction with enough variation to not need to switch directions during the race. The course will be mostly flat with some elevation change near the stage and natural amphitheater.

The 5K runners will start at the Lisle High School parking lot and run a small stretch of road until they hit a paved running trail which they will take on their journey in and around Lisle Community Park. Runners will share the same section of trail for the last part of the 5K loop until they reach the school again.
