About
Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime with our trail half marathon in the heart of the majestic Shawnee National Forest at Giant City State Park! Lace up your running shoes and prepare to traverse the diverse terrain of the Red Cedar Trail, featuring technical stretches, single track paths, and a total of 1500 feet in elevation gains. Expect to splash through creeks and share the path with nature enthusiasts as you push your limits in this exciting race. This event is not only a test of endurance but also a chance to connect with fellow racers at our well-stocked aid stations - just remember, it's a cupless event, so plan accordingly! Cross the finish line and celebrate with a cold beer or a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, but only if you're 21 and up. Plus, don't miss out on securing your special race swag by registering before April 16th. For a full experience, consider staying in the park's cozy lodgings or nearby accommodations. This is more than a race; it’s a weekend to remember!
