Muddy Shamrock @ The Forge
The Muddy Shamrock @ The Forge is an annual trail running event held in Lemont, Illinois, featuring a Trail Half Marathon (approximately 13.1 miles) and a Trail Quarter Marathon (about 6.6 miles). The race courses wind through wooded single and double-track mountain bike trails and gravel paths around the scenic historic Lemont Quarries at The Forge. Participants encounter varied terrain including dirt, mud, rocks, roots, and some technical sections with short steep inclines and declines.
The event offers chip timing, age group awards, a commemorative T-shirt, and a festive post-race party with food, beer, and music. Trail running shoes are recommended for this adventurous early-season race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
