About the race
Galena Sky Trail Races is a timed loop trail event held on the trails of Chestnut Mountain Resort in Galena, IL. The event offers two timed formats: an eight hour and a four hour option. Runners complete repeated loops on a course that returns to the race base and after party area.
The long loop measures about 2.91 miles and a shorter loop of 0.6 miles is used later in the day; participants must complete an entire lap before the race cutoff for the lap to count. Final Lap timing tracks mileage and awards are given to the runners with the most miles; ties are resolved by who reached the mileage first.
All entrants receive a race shirt, a finisher medal described as a heavy metal 3-D Warrior medal, and a finisher meal. The after party includes music and prizes, and the meal is prepared by Chestnut Mountain Resort with a taco bar offered as the after party meal; extra meal tickets are available for purchase. The race lists an early bird price and a standard entry price and describes a rollover policy for transferring entry credit to a future race. Online registration and race day signup options are mentioned. The venue provides views across the Mississippi River and access to resort amenities and local attractions.
