Farmdale Trail Run : October 10-11, 2026
The Farmdale Trail Run is the twenty-first edition of a multi-distance trail event held at Farmdale, an 800-acre area near East Peoria, Washington and Morton, Illinois. The venue includes single-track trail, service road and open prairie around Farmdale Reservoir, maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers and volunteers.
Race distances offered:
- 100 Miler
- 50 Miler
- 30 Miler
- 1/2 Marathon
- 10K
The 10K and half marathon have a nine hour time limit. The 50 and 100 mile races use a 32 hour cutoff. The 100 mile field may drop to the 50 mile at mile 50; competitors who drop at mile 50 will be presented an award for 50 miles and will not be refunded the difference in race cost. Quitting after mile 50 at intermediate distances such as mile 60, 70, 80 or 90 is recorded as a DNF and does not receive awards.
