Informazioni sull'evento

Muddy Shamrock Trail Half Marathon & Quarter Marathon Saturday, March 15, 2025 @ The Forge: Lemont Quarries 9:00 AM   2024 Results

 

Race Information

Woods, dirt, mud, roots, and maybe some other adventurous trail stuff will be experienced at the 4th annual Trail Half Marathon and Quarter Marathon @ The Forge. And now that we've earned the 4th leaf in our clover, the race is now named the MUDDY SHAMROCK!
 
This early season trail race will be run on wooded single-and double-track trails with awesome scenery around the historic Lemont Quarries. Both races will traverse the single track MTB trails within the woods and some gravel trails throughout the Forge and adjoining trail systems. 

Registration

Tier 1 (Until July 4, 2024) = $60 (Half) / $45 (Quarter)

Tier 2 (July 5, 2024 - October 15, 2024) = $65 (Half) / $50 (Quarter)

Tier 3 (October 16, 2024 - January 31, 2025) = $70 (Half) / $60 (Quarter)

Tier 4 (February 1 - March 15 (Race Day), 2024) = $80 (Half) / $65 (Quarter)

Race entry fees include: entry to the race, chip timed results w/live splits, earned overall and age group awards, Muddy Shamrock swag TBD, post-race party with food, beer, music and all around fun

Race Information

As an early season event held in March we anticipate variable weather, creating more adventure to the race (or, gorgeous sunshine like in 2024!).  Athletes will experience a unique trail race with a cool course, awesome scenery and a great venue based at The Forge: Lemont Quarries.

SWAG: Next year's swag will be something green.  TBD item and style.

Course Information


The course traverses the single and double track MTB trails within the woods and some gravel trails throughout the Forge and adjoining trail systems.  The course will have a common start / finish line. Runners will complete 2 laps for the Half Marathon and 1 lap for the Quarter. Total mileage will be approximately 13.3 +/- miles for the Half Marathon and approximately 6.6 +/- miles for the Quarter Marathon, but it is a trail and we don't want to do anything funky to make it a perfect distance.

The gravel is mostly flat. The MTB and single/double-track sections have variable terrain and surfaces ranging from dirt, grass, rocks, mud, more rocks, roots, stumps, Sasquatch, etc. A few spots are technical with several short but steep inclines and downhills.

Trail running shoes are recommended.

Aid / Hydration Station: There will be one aid station with water and sports drink located at the beginning of the second lap for the half.  Please plan on carrying your own hydration and fuel. We aim to go cupless for the 2025 event.
