FAQ
How can it impact the course?
Not unless there is flooding of the Des Plaines River that makes the trails unsurpassable under reasonable trail runner conditions. If so, then we have an alternate loop course. We've had to do this twice in all the years we've been putting on the race and the time we did, the runners still had a great time. The alternate course can be found on the interactive map
Where can I see trail closures for DPR?
Is the alternative course a Boston qualifier in case we need to run it due to flooding?
YES!
We send out a pre-race email a week before the race.
