Temptation 200 Ultras
The Temptation 200 Ultras, held in Sand Ridge State Forest near 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. The course consists of multiple loops through forest trails, testing runners physically and mentally with flexible cutoffs encouraging continuous movement.
Participants start as 200K entrants and may choose to drop out at shorter distances, earning distinctive awards including custom challenge coins and unique buckles for 100K, 150K, and 200K finishes. Camping is included, though facilities are rustic with no showers or electricity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
