Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs
Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs is a looped trail ultramarathon held in Dixon, IL, with the start area behind the Dixon Park District Facility at 1605 Washington Ave. The event offers multiple loop distances on the same course.
Distances
- 100 Miler
- 100k
- 50k
- 25K
- 8 Mile (one loop)
The course is a roughly 7.85 mile loop. Distances are completed by repeating the loop: for example, four loops equal a 50k and thirteen loops equal about 103 miles. Surface types are mixed: about 50% singletrack, 30% grassy meadow paths, and 20% gravel paths. Total elevation for the 100 mile distance is roughly 6,200 feet, which is just under 60 feet per mile. Runners should expect tree roots, small stumps, rocks, and other typical singletrack obstacles.
There are two aid locations: the start/finish area and a water station at about 3.7 miles. The start/finish location supplies water, snacks, and hot food through the night; the water station provides water and ice. Crew and pacers are allowed at the start/finish and at the aid station; pacers may join after the first lap. Personal canopies are allowed on a first come first served basis; campers are not permitted. Packet pickup and course setup occur on Saturday morning. Registration closes on Tue, Sep 22.
