Muddy Shamrock @ The Forge
The Muddy Shamrock @ The Forge is scheduled for March 13, 2027, at The Forge: Lemont Quarries, 227 Heritage Quarries Dr., Lemont, IL 60439. The event comprises two trail races that share a common start and finish line and use the single-track mountain bike trails and nearby gravel routes.
The course runs on wooded single and double-track trails and on some gravel. Surfaces and features include dirt, mud, roots, rocks, stumps, grass, and several short but steep inclines and downhills. A few sections are technical. Trail running shoes are recommended. Runners complete two laps for the half marathon and one lap for the quarter marathon.
There will be one aid station offering water and sports drinks at the beginning of the second lap for the half; participants are advised to carry personal hydration and fuel. Packet pick-up includes a bib with a timing tag and swag for the first 200 registered. Onsite packet pick-up and race-day registration may be available if the race is not sold out; onsite registrations require payment by online credit card.
Race entry benefits listed by the organizer include chip-timed results with live splits, earned overall and age-group awards, a Muddy Shamrock T-shirt, and a post-race gathering with food and beer. Awards cover overall winners, 10-year age groups, masters, and mid-pack recognitions, plus additional prizes and raffles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
