Elsa Chicken Plucker Backyard Ultra
The Elsa Chicken Plucker Backyard Ultra is a backyard ultra trail event on June 5, 2027, in Charleston, IL, held at 17737 E County Road 380N. The event is organized by Willenborg Woods and is designated a Bronze Ticket event. The listed entry fee is USD 131.30 and registration closes Fri, Jun 4 at 11:59 PM CT.
The format uses a repeating loop of 4.167-mile that participants must complete each hour. The last runner remaining on the course earns the Bronze Ticket. The course description differentiates a day loop and a night loop: the day loop uses single-track and groomed grass trails, while the night loop includes grass trails and country roads. A section called the Tunnel of Trees is noted as a distinct part of the route.
Event rules include completing the loop each hour, allowance for one support crew per participant, and a requirement for reflective gear at night. Missing an hourly loop results in elimination from the event.
Willenborg Woods manages 149 acres of trails and maintains trails on the property. The event information highlights community and family involvement as part of the race environment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
