About the race
Clinton Lake Ultra is a trail race held March 27, 2027 at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area near DeWitt, IL. The event offers two distance options and uses trails around the lake, with the start at the North Fork Trailhead Parking lot (boat ramp).
The course consists of loops through forest, hills, and meadows. Most of the route is single-track, with a short section on road and a bridge that connects two sides of the loop around the lake. Each 10 mile loop includes about 1500 feet of elevation gain and two fully stocked aid stations.
Distances:
- 30 mile (three 10 mile loops)
- 10 mile
The event is a no chip timing format. Organizers require a volunteer contribution from participants; runners are asked to volunteer at another race or perform trail work, with details and a form to be provided closer to race day. Shirt registration for a race sweatshirt has a deadline of March 1 for guaranteed availability. The race is part of the 50K MashUp series; participating 50K MashUp runners receive a special recognition item at packet pickup.
Additional race rules include no disposable cups at aid stations, no pacers, and no early starts. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers, and all finishers receive a long-sleeved Clinton item and a finisher item.
