Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs Dixon, IL   Sep 26, 2026

Welcome to Hindsight Ultra Trail Runs, a local grassroots race that looks easy on paper, but can catch up to you in a hurry. While the race does not have a lot of vert, it makes up for it with varying terrain, some technical trails, and a long stretch of exposure. While we have sign-up and formal finish times/results, we will do our best to maintain the grassroots feel to the event.

The start line is located behind the Dixon Park District Facility in Dixon IL. It is a 7.85ish mile loop. 2 loops will get you a 25k, 4 loops will get you a 50k, 8 loops a 100k, and 13 loops get you 103 (3 extra credit) miles. The course is a blend of everything except water crossings and mountains. Roughly 50% singletrack, 30% grassy meadows path, and 20% gravel path. Total elevation for the 100 mile is roughly 6200’ which calculates to just under 60’/mile. While the course is maintained, expect there to be tree roots, small tree stumps, some rocks, ankle rollers, and anything else you would expect to be on a singletrack course.

This is a great event for any runners looking to complete their first Ultra distance, complete the next distance on their list, or want to train for the next ‘A’ race.
