🌟 Race Format

Why 2.0? Two races in a fun, same day format! The 4 mile trail run starts at 8:30AM, the 7 mile race shortly after at 10:00AM. You can also do the 2.0 Distance Challenge and run BOTH the races for a combined score!

🌳 4 Mile Loop

If choosing to complete only the 4 mile loop, you'll find yourself traveling through oak and hickory woodlands, over small stream bridges, and finishing through the beautifully restored woodland and prairie trail. A combination of forest trail and beautiful rolling prairie. Choosing only this race, runners will need to arrive for the 8:30AM start.

🏞️ 7 Mile Loop

Choosing only the 7 mile loop will include all of the beauty of the 4 mile, along with 2.6 miles through the Kelly Hertel Nature Trail. Choosing only this race, runners will need to arrive for the 10:00AM start.

🏅 Distance Challenge

Are you down for the distance challenge!? Complete both distances for a total of 11 miles for an opportunity to push yourself to the max! You will run the 4 mile race promptly at 8:30AM, then at 10:30AM runners will take off from the same start line and follow the 4 mile loop again... but this time you'll branch off to include the Kelly Hertel Nature Trail! If completing the DISTANCE CHALLENGE, you will arrive to begin your races at the 8:30AM start.
