The Forge Trail Run Festival

The Forge Trail Run Festival offers a series of trail runs that embrace the adventure and challenge of late-fall trail running through variable, rugged paths around the historic Lemont Quarries and I&M Canal. Featuring single and double-track trails, runners will encounter dirt, grass, rocks, and steep inclines. The event accommodates different levels of experience, providing courses that range from short to more extensive laps, offering varying challenges without significant elevation changes. Participants receive an orange winter hat and tote bag, while awards recognize top finishers. Aid stations, course maps, and race information are available for preparation.
