Arrowhead Endurance Run

Course

Arrowhead Lake Campground is in Johnston City, IL (about 15 minutes north of Marion, IL) with a certified 2.07 mile loop around the lake. The trail is 99% gravel with a small concrete section up the boat ramp. With less than 50 ft of elevation change per loop, it offers some fast times and supports big miles as we have had national level mileage totals in the first two years! Chip timing provided by Jason Claunch at SoILL Racing.

SWAG!

We will have awesome shirts for all finishers registered before the shirt deadline: 9/27/26. Each runner who finishes at least one official lap in their registered race will receive a custom medal! Buckles are awarded for those that finish 100 miles in the 24 hour race before cut-off. Overall winners for each race will receive a special award for their accomplishment!
