The Forge Trail Half Marathon

The Forge Trail Half Marathon & Quarter Marathon Saturday, March 18, 2023 @ The Forge: Lemont Quarries 7:30 AM   Race Information

Woods, dirt, mud, roots, and maybe some other adventurous trail stuff will be experienced at the second annual Forge Trail Half Marathon and Quarter Marathon.
 
New this year is the addition of a shorter course Quarter Marathon.
 
This early season trail race will be run on a cool course on wooded single-track trails with awesome scenery around the historic Lemont Quarries. Both races will traverse the single track MTB trails within the woods and some gravel trails throughout the Forge and adjoining trail systems. Trail runners will experience a course that includes single-track sections with variable terrain and surfaces ranging from dirt, grass, rocks, mud, more rocks, roots, stumps, Sasquatch, etc., and a few technical sections and with several short but steep inclines and downhills. The Half Marathon will be as close to an "official" 13.1 miles as we can and Quarter Marathon will be in the ballpark of 6.5 miles, but it is a trail race and we don't want to do anything funky to make it a perfect distance.
