Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs

Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs, held in Dixon, Illinois, offers a grassroots ultra running experience with distances of 25K, 50K, 100K, and 100 miles. The course features a 7.85-mile loop combining roughly 50% singletrack, 30% grassy meadow paths, and 20% gravel, with about 6,200 feet of elevation gain over 100 miles. Runners face technical terrain including tree roots and rocks, but no water crossings or mountains.

Aid stations are located at the start/finish and mid-loop, providing water, snacks, and hot food. The event encourages a supportive atmosphere with crew and pacer allowances, awards for finishers, and a focus on respecting park property.
