Pinetum Mind Games Endurance Event

The Pinetum Mind Games Endurance Event, held at Lowell Park in Dixon, Illinois, is a unique running challenge featuring a 0.411-mile loop course through the pine tree upper loop area. Participants can choose from 6, 12, or 24-hour solo runs or three-person relays, starting on a Friday evening. The event emphasizes mental toughness, encouraging runners to push beyond perceived limits in a fun, supportive atmosphere. It is self-supported, with runners responsible for tracking their own laps and managing their aid stations, though water is provided. The park remains open during the event, and various competitions and raffles add to the festive nighttime experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
