NEWS FLASH - MAY 15, 2021
It's a GO! The DPRT Races will be run on Sunday, October 17, 2021. Registration to open May 31st.
Welcome to the 11th running of the DPR Trail Half-Marathon, Marathon and 50 Mile Ultra Marathon along the beautiful and fast Des Plaines River Trail in Lake County, Illinois. This is a truly special running course. The DPR Trail is a wide, crushed gravel track, free of roots and rocks, and very flat. All of the major road crossings are managed by way of bridges or viaducts (with only 4 minor road crossings along the whole 50 Mile course, 2 on the Marathon course, and none for the Half-Marathon course). This is a great track through alternating lush forests and open wetlands. With cool temperatures expected, and given the flat terrain and ideal running surface, you'll find these to be extremely fast courses. It is a trail race so depending on weather conditions you may experience water on parts of the course. The Marathon is a BOSTON QUALIFIER. Come out and join us for a great run!

This is a Trail Race
This is a trail race which is run along the Des Plaines River. Being a trail race you may experience conditions that are different from other races you have run. This includes the possibility of river flooding which may cause the race organizers to alter the original course or conditions may force the runners to run thru water. Yes, your shoes will probably get dirty and if it rains or parts of the course flood, you will run thru water.
Cupless Race
Each year we go thru approximately 5,000 cups and in an effort to be more "green" this year DPRT will become a cupless race so you need to carry a hand-held or a hydration pack.
