Temptation 200 Ultras

The Temptation 200 Ultras, held annually at Sand Ridge State Forest in Forest City, Illinois, is a challenging ultramarathon event celebrating its 7th anniversary in 2025. The race offers multiple distances: a grueling 200K, a 50K, and a "Not At All Tempted" 10K, all set on a demanding forest course. Participants start together as 200K entrants and can choose to drop out at various points, earning distinctive awards including custom challenge coins and unique buckles for 100K, 150K, and 200K finishes.

The event emphasizes mental and physical endurance, with flexible cutoffs and camping available at the start/finish area. It is designed to test runners' limits and resolve over Labor Day weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
