Rise Up Hero Trail Runs at Settlers Cabin Park
This loop-based trail event uses the same route as Last Trail Standing but started in the opposite direction. The course runs almost entirely on trails through woods, rock, roots, and rolling terrain and covers nearly every trail in Settlers Cabin Park.
Distances offered
- 50K 31 miles, two 15.5-mile loops, about 4600 ft elevation gain
- 25K 15.5 miles, one loop with turnaround at Gilbert Love, about 2300 ft gain
- 8 Miler 8 miles, out-and-back past Gilbert Love then back to Algonquin
- 5K 3.1 miles, true 5K loop at Algonquin
All distances start and finish at Algonquin Shelter. Gilbert Love Shelter is 7.75 trail miles from Algonquin and serves as the aid station and turnaround for the 25K and 50K. Although Algonquin and Gilbert Love are close in physical location, the connecting trails are rugged and technical.
The event features two primary aid locations at Algonquin and Gilbert Love, fully stocked aid stations, maximum distance between aid under 8 miles, and 50K drop bags located at Algonquin. Professional timing is provided and all finishers receive medals with overall placements and age group awards for the 8 Miler, 25K, and 50K. Hikers are welcome in the 25K, 8 Miler, and 5K. The course includes Rilyn’s Way and participants may receive a Be The Hero bracelet and event shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
