Pinetum Mind Games Endurance Event

Pinetum Mind Games Endurance Event

The event is an endurance running event held at the Pinetum, the upper pine loop at Lowell Park, 2114 Lowell Park Rd, Dixon, IL. Participants circle a paved loop of approximately 0.411 mile repeatedly over set time periods on a closed loop.

Distances and formats include:

• 24 Hour
• 12 Hour
• 6 Hour

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 on the provided timing sheet and for their own food and most liquids. Organizers will have water available and volunteers will monitor the course and assist as needed. GPS watches are not permitted for official distance tracking due to watch inconsistencies.

The center of the loop is available for tents and personal aid stations for the duration of a participant's time on course. The park remains open to the public during the event while the loop itself will be closed to traffic. Entry gates close at dusk. Pets are not allowed during the event and participants are asked to keep noise down at night.

There will be additional competitions and raffles announced later. Registration deferrals are allowed up to two months before the event with a 100 percent deferral to next year. Pregnancy accommodations can be arranged by contacting the race organizers. Event times can be adjusted via Ultrasignup until one week before the race.
