EVENT DISCONTINUED. From race website: “WE’RE RETIRING! It’s been great, folks, but we are sorry to announce that Evergreen Lake Ultras will not be held in 2019. Thanks for the memories!”

The Evergreen Lake Ultras is one of the more diverse trail ultras in Illinois. A beautiful 15.5 mile loop that consists of single track, hiking trails, and open prairie paths. You will see that we take a lot of pride in maintaining our trail system at COMLARA Park.

The Shady Hollow Trail Runners are a 100% not-for-profit trail running club. Most of the race fees go into the event, the remainder goes to one of our charities. We are an old school, grass roots type running club and we take a lot of care to make this race, one of the best ultras in Illinois.

50K (31.0 mile – 2 Laps) – the 31 mile Ultra will start at 6:30 am. Two 15.5 mile loops. Course will be well marked with reflectors and flags. Sunrise is approximately 6:35 am so headlamps or other lighting is required. Runners must start the last loop by 5:30 pm and the course closes at 10:30 pm. There will be finisher awards along with a special award for completing the Evergreen Lake Ultra.

25K (15.5 miles – 1 Lap) Fun Run – the 15.5 mile fun run will start at 6:30 am. There will be finisher awards for all finishers and a special award will be given to the top male and female finishers.
