The USOLE December Trail Challenge
*Back to where it all started - 5 Miles* We will be headed back to the Far Northside of Chicago and Schiller Woods! This is the original USOLE Trail Challenge course (founded over 20 years ago) location and we love this place! A great location very close to the city, but has the great trails and scenery of the woods in beautiful Schiller Woods on the Des Plaines River Trail (DPRT). The trail will be a flat off road course with nice wide trails the entire distance making it a great trail experience off the roads. This race is perfect for those wanting to try trail for the first time! Plan to join us on December 18th and find out the magic that is a USOLE Trail Challenge. All registered athletes receive the custom USOLE Trail Challenge Beanie (see image below) and Will's Famous Chili with some fantastic beverages following the run!
The Ryan & Katie Flynn Memorial Trail Challenge Series As we prepare for the upcoming USOLE Trail Challenge Series Trail Races (October, November & December 2021), we are honored to dedicate the entire series in memory of our dear running friends, Ryan & Katie Flynn! Both were very active runners in the USOLE and Chicago running communities and we will miss them dearly! They always loved the trails and we always enjoyed having them being a part of our grass roots trail races! A portion of the Trail Challenge Series Proceeds will go to Ryan's Charity, Anixter Center and Katie's Charity Girls on the Run-Chicago! We hope everyone can make it out to our trail races, enjoy nature in the fall (a fantastic time to be on the trails) and keep Ryan and Katie in your thoughts.
