Potawatomi Trail Runs

The course is a 10 mile loop composed mostly of single track dirt, with prairie sections, several creek crossings, and rolling hills. Elevation gain is about 1500 feet per 10 mile loop. Wildlife such as deer and birds are commonly seen on the course. Aid stations are positioned about every 5 miles.

Logistics include a large tented area with picnic tables at the start and finish for runners and their gear. Primitive tent camping is available at no charge; camping is in a field along the loop and spaces are first come, first served. Porta potties are on site. No drop bags are allowed at the mile 5 aid station. Power for charging electronics is available at the main aid station; generators are not permitted.

Timing uses chip or board timing and traditional DNS and DNF rules apply. Runners cannot change or drop down distances mid-race and must complete their registered distance to be recorded as finishers. Awards and participant items: all participants receive a shirt and finisher medal; buckles are awarded to 50, 100, 150 and 200 mile finishers; 150 and 200 mile finishers receive a finishers jacket. Course records must be documented with electronic GPS tracking. A deferral option to the following year is available at 50 percent if requested in writing before the event. Early start options exist for some distances but are not available for the 200 Miler and are not eligible for podium awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
