Course Map
Illiniwek trail system is made up of mostly single track mountain bike trails. There are 2 notable climbs of about 100' per loop; the rest of the trails are rolling hills that weave through the beautiful forest. Though there are rocks and roots, this trail would be considered pretty friendly in the trip hazard category, which makes it perfect for a nighttime race. You won't be lonely even if you are racing solo. There will be manned water/aid stations with music and plenty of energy on the loop!!
