A gravel cycling event, the Pumpkin Holler Gravel Grinder, is held the next day, Sunday, Oct 19. That event shares roads with the running course and includes 30-mile, 60-mile, and 70-mile options. The 30-mile route is one loop, the 60-mile route is two loops, and the 70-mile route adds a 10-mile out-and-back within the first loop.
Course and support
The running course uses gravel country roads with a few climbs and sections of tree-covered trail. The landscape includes rolling Cookson Hills, spring-fed creeks, steep slopes, narrow valleys, oak-hickory forest, pine woodland, prairie, and tributaries that feed the Illinois River. The area shows fall foliage in October.
Aid stations are staffed by volunteer crews, many of whom are experienced ultra-runners. The event includes multiple aid stations positioned along the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
