Childish Nonsense Palatine, IL   Apr 26, 2025

Childish Nonsense will be a loop course highlighting the rolling trails of Deer Grove Forest Preserve. Most of the trail is a wide dirt path, with nothing too technical to worry about.

10k Runners will do one lap plus some extra.
25k Runners will do 3 laps.
50k Runners will do 6 laps
50 milers will do 9 laps.

There will be one aid station at the Start/Finish. There are other areas on the course where your own crew can set up, but the start/finish area are reserved for event staff.

50 milers can have a pacer after 4 loops. Cutoff time for all distances is 8pm. There will be shenanigans occurring throughout the day to help us all awaken our inner child.

CUSS Running: Curious Ultrarunner’s Secret Society was established to inject a sense of whimsy into training calendars, split times, and fartleks. Our goal is to build a community that creates a space for the individual to fall in love with the magic of running.
