McNaughton Park Trail Runs
The McNaughton Park Trail Runs, over distances of 50, 100 and 150 miles (240 km), is an annual ultramarathon running event held in Pekin, Illinois each spring on a rugged, ten-mile (16 km) loop course. All three races are run concurrently. The 100-mile (160 km) ultra is the only one held in Illinois. The 150-mile (240 km) ultra, first held in 2007, is the only 150-mile (240 km) race in the United States.
The loop course is primarily a single lane footpath, through natural countryside including forests and meadows. Each ten-mile (16 km) loop provides approximately 1,600 feet (490 m) of elevation gain.
A thirty mile run, part of the event through 2006, was replaced by a 150-mile (240 km) option beginning in 2007.
