Clinton Lake Ultra
Clinton Lake Ultra is scheduled for March 27, 2027 in DeWitt, IL at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area. The event offers the following distances:
- 30 Miler
- 10 Mile
Registration opens on November 11, 2026 and the shirt deadline is March 1, 2027. The event is part of the 50K MashUp and MashUp participants receive a special recognition item at packet pickup. Timing for the event is not chip based.
The course starts at the North Fork Trailhead parking lot (boat ramp) and consists of three loops of about ten miles each through forest, hills, and meadows. The route is almost entirely single-track except for a short road and bridge section that connects two sides of the loop. Each loop has roughly 1500 feet of elevation gain.
Each loop includes two fully stocked aid stations. The event enforces a no cups policy and encourages runners to carry a handheld bottle or collapsible cup. Pacers and early starts are not permitted. Runners must stay ahead of the course sweep and meet the event time limits.
There is a mandatory volunteer requirement for participants; options include volunteering at another race or doing trail work, with submission of a form near race day. The top three men and top three women receive awards. All runners receive a long-sleeved CLINTON item and a finisher item. The event has donated race proceeds to regional charities and plans to support Clinton Trail maintenance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
