Collegeville Ultra
The Collegeville Ultra is a set of trail races held in May at Saint John’s Abbey Arboretum in Collegeville, MN. Events use looped trails that pass through prairie, oak savanna, hardwood and conifer forest, lakes, and wetlands around Saint John’s Durenberger Athletic Fields. The course surface mixes dirt, double track, single track, boardwalk, and paved trails.
Distances offered:
- 10 Mile
- 20 Mile
- 50 Kilometer
Each distance is run as loops: the 10 mile is one loop, the 20 mile is two loops, and the 50 kilometer is three loops plus a short extra section. There are two aid stations per loop. Aid Station 1 is at the start and offers space for drop bags. Aid Station 2 is near the Stone Gate and is accessible to crews via the Old Entrance Road; runners pass that station twice each loop. Participants must check in at each aid station and record their race number. To reduce environmental impact, the event is cupless and runners must carry their own containers.
Packet pickup takes place on race day about one hour before each race. Participants registered by the stated cutoff are guaranteed a race t shirt and all finishers receive a medallion. Race rules include no littering and no course cutting, with violations resulting in a DNF. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
