Virtual Option 2023
Since you asked, we delivered. Stephanie and I are excited to offer a virtual option for Arrowhead Endurance Run this year. We know you’re busy in October, so we want to give you the opportunity to participate in our race.
The price includes shipping of the shirt, finishers medal and some goodies.
There may be some age group awards or small overall awards. .
Registration will open July 5th. The results will be separate from the in-person event.
Please have results visible on Strava or take a photo of your GPS watch. This is an honor system. The total time is from when you hit start on your watch. Obviously you don’t have to run or walk the entire time. But why wouldn’t you ??
So grab a friend and make a day or night or both of it. Mostly have fun and be safe.
If you have any questions or concerns about the virtual event please reach out. Lauraran1@yahoo.com

*All virtual racers will get the entire month of October to do their race. All results must be uploaded by November 1st.

Course
Arrowhead Lake Campground is in Johnston City, IL (about 15 minutes north of Marion, IL) with a certified 2.07 mile loop around the lake. The trail is 99% gravel with a small concrete section up the boat ramp. With less than 50 ft of elevation change per loop, it offers some fast times and supports big miles as we have had national level mileage totals in the first two years! We will have chip timing again by Jason Claunch at Southern Illinois Racing.
