Timely Nonsense - Chicago
Timely Nonsense is a timed ultrarunning event in Chicago scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026. The event offers 3 hour, 6 hour, and 12 hour timed options on a paved loop course of roughly one mile that is run counter clockwise. Runners complete repeated laps within their allotted time. A team option is available with two person and four person relay teams.
The event uses a single aid station at the start/finish area stocked with typical ultramarathon fare. A vendor at the park sells hot dogs, popsicles, and soft drinks. There is a portable toilet on course and the park recreation center is available during the day. Packet pickup takes place at the starting line near the southwest corner of the park beside the dog park. At the top of each hour race staff announce a brief challenge that participants may complete during that hour; past challenges have included rolling down a hill or going down the playground slide. The course setting is described as a 58 acre park located at the intersection of California and Montrose in Chicago. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
