Collegeville Ultra
The Collegeville Ultra takes place at Saint John's University within the Saint John’s Abbey Arboretum. This trail event utilizes a loop system that guides participants through a variety of natural landscapes, including prairies, oak savannas, hardwood forests, conifer forests, lakes, and wetlands.
The event features three distinct distances:
- 50 km: 3 loops plus an additional section.
- 20 miler: 2 loops.
- 10 miler: 1 loop.
Each loop covers approximately 10 miles and consists of diverse terrain, including dirt paths, double track, single track, boardwalks, and paved trails. The race starts and finishes at the Saint John’s Durenberger Athletic Fields.
This is a cupless event aimed at environmental sustainability. Participants are responsible for carrying their own water bottles or reusable containers as no cups are provided at the aid stations. There are two aid stations per loop. The first station is located at the start and offers space for drop bags. The second station is near the Stone Gate and is accessible for crews via the Old Entrance Road; runners pass this station twice during each loop.
Participants who register by the specified deadline receive a race t-shirt. All finishers across the three distances receive a medallion. An award is also given for the fastest first lap recorded, regardless of the total race distance entered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
