Pinetum Mind Games Endurance Event
The event is an overnight loop endurance race held at the Pinetum (the pine tree upper loop) in Lowell Park, 2114 Lowell Park Rd, Dixon, IL. Participants circle an approximately 0.411 mile paved loop for a set period of time and record laps on a timing sheet.
Available race formats:
- 24 hour continuous effort
- 12 hour continuous effort
- 6 hour continuous effort
Participants may run solo or form a three person relay team. This is a self supported event: runners are responsible for tracking their own loops and for bringing their own food and nonwater liquids. Organizers will provide water and volunteers will be present to assist and observe. GPS watches may not be used for official distance tracking due to device inconsistencies. The center of the loop is available for tents and individual aid stations for the duration of a participant's time on course.
Rules and site notes include that the event takes place on Dixon Park District property while the park remains open, pets are not allowed, and participants are expected to keep noise down out of respect for nearby residents. Timing sheets are provided and competitors decide how often to record laps. There will be on-course competitions and raffles announced at a later time.
Deferral and accommodations: the organizer offers a 100 percent deferral option if requested up to two months before the event. Pregnant participants are asked to contact race directors to discuss accommodations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
