Potawatomi Trail Runs

Pekin, United States • 9-12 Apr 2026

Potawatomi Trail Runs takes place at McNaughton Park in Pekin, Illinois. The event offers six distances: 200, 150, 100, 50, 30, and 10 miles. Runners complete a rugged 10-mile loop of mostly single-track dirt, with prairie sections, creek crossings, and rolling hills, yielding about 1,500 feet of elevation gain per loop.

The weekend atmosphere centers on camaraderie and endurance, with aid stations every five miles and generous nutrition and hydration. Finishers earn a shirt and medal; longer distances award buckles, and 150/200-mile finishers receive jackets. The site includes primitive camping and a time-tracking policy for course records—the 25th year of the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
