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 200K starts early Saturday and must be completed within 40 hours, with flexible cutoffs encouraging runners to keep moving.

Participants can choose to drop out at shorter distances (50K, 100K, 150K) and receive distinctive awards, including custom buckles for longer distances. The course is tough, set in wooded terrain, with camping available at the start/finish area. The event emphasizes endurance, mental toughness, and the spirit of ultra running.
