Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs - Dixon, IL
Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs is a grassroots loop race held on Dixon Park District property at 1605 Washington Ave in Dixon, IL. The course is a roughly 7.85 mile loop; required laps are 2 for a 25K, 4 for a 50K, 8 for a 100K, and 13 for a 103 mile option.
The trail surface is mixed: about 50% singletrack, 30% grassy meadow paths, and 20% gravel paths. The route has limited elevation overall; total elevation for the 100 mile option is about 6,200 feet, which averages just under 60 feet per mile. Runners should expect tree roots, small stumps, rocks, and other common singletrack obstacles.
There are two aid locations. The start and finish aid station offers water, snacks, and hot food options through the night; a separate water station sits at about 3.7 miles and provides water only. Crew access is permitted at both aid locations; the water station is approximately a one third mile walk from the start and finish area. Pacers may join runners after the first lap and may join or leave at either aid location. Personal pop up canopies are allowed on a first come first serve basis. Campers are not permitted.
Awards include medals for 25K, 50K, and 100K finishers, a buckle for 100 mile finishers, and top three male and female awards for each distance. All activity must follow Park District rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
