Summer Trail Classic
The Summer Trail Classic is a trail running event held at Paul Douglas Forest Preserve in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. It offers three race distances: approximately 4 miles, 9.5 miles, and 13 miles, featuring twisting single-track trails that provide a true trail running experience. The event is part of the 2025 Dick Pond Athletics Darn Tough Trail Race Series and includes a challenging restored sled hill on the longer courses.
Participants receive a choice of race apparel and compete for overall and age group awards. Proceeds benefit the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers (CAMBr), supporting local trail maintenance and cycling opportunities. The race emphasizes trail etiquette and safety.
