Allerton Park Trail Run

The Allerton Park Trail Run, organized by the Second Wind Running Club, takes place at the Robert Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, Illinois. This event features a challenging 5.7-mile trail run and a 2-mile nature walk, both set against the scenic backdrop of the park's trails. Participants can expect obstacles like roots and sharp turns while enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

The event encourages costumes due to its proximity to Halloween and includes age group awards and a costume contest. Proceeds from the run support trail maintenance and park enhancements, fostering community engagement and environmental stewardship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
