The Trail Half Marathon and 10K traverses the wide bike/running path as well as the rugged single track throughout Paul Douglas Preserve in 2024. Athletes can expect a wide variety of terrain including crushed limestone, dirt, and a bit of paved path. The outer 10k loop consists of wider, bike/running path while the half marathon runs almost exclusively on the single trail dirt paths. These trails are fairly smooth, fairly free of obstacles, and have some gentle, rolling hills. If you are lucky and it has been a rainy spring, you can expect the paths to be muddy. Come on out and enjoy the beauty and challenges of the Paul Douglas Preserve.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This event will be cup-less. There will be no disposable cups at the aid stations. You will need to bring your own cup or bottle to fill at the aid stations. There will be collapsible cups on race day for sale if you forget yours. We want to make it clear that any persons found littering will be automatically disqualified and asked to leave the event.

FAQ
What if I can't come to the race?
Worth Your Mile Running is committed to providing an excellent running experience and although we do not provide refunds for races under any circumstances, we understand life does have a way of changing your plans and do allow participants to transfer their registration to another runner. Instructions on how to complete this process can be found in the registration pages.
Transfers will be allowed for races of the same distance or a shorter distance. Transfers to longer distances can be done with the new participant paying the difference between the races costs based on the cost at the time of the transfer and not at the time of the original purchase. There will be a $2.00 transfer fee for all transfers.
What if the weather is bad?
The race will be held regardless of weather with the exception of lightning, which will delay the start and will be a race day decision.
Can someone pickup my packet for me?
Yes. Please make sure that you provide your friend with the registration confirmation for them to pick up your packet for you.
Is the race chip timed?
Yes. Timing will be provided by Race Time and a link to results will be provided after the race.
Is there race day packet pickup?
Yes. You can pick up your packet and bib the morning of the race starting at 6:00am
Are Headphones, Strollers or Pets allowed?
As it is a public course, we do not encourage or suggest headphone be worn. Strollers are welcome and we highly suggest that walkers and strollers line up at the back. Pets must follow the rules set forth by the Cook County Park District and are welcome as long as they are leashed.
Are pacers allowed?
Pacers for this race are not allowed. Runners who are found running with someone that is not a registered participant will have their results nullified.
