15th Edition of the DPR Trail Races
Welcome to the 15th edition of the DPR Trail Half-Marathon, Marathon, 50 Km and 50 Mile Ultra Marathon along the beautiful and fast Des Plaines River Trail in Lake County, Illinois starting and finishing at Half Day Forest Preserve.With expected cool temperatures, flat terrain, and ideal running surface, you'll find this trail to be extremely fast, which is perfect for a personal best, or a Boston Qualifying time. (Marathon is a Boston Qualifier!) Come out and join us for a great run! This race is a CUPLESS EVENT (bring your own cup, hydration pack, water bottle, etc).Please visit our website at https://desplainesrivertrailraces.com for all the details.
Run Through a Beautiful Trail System
The DPR Trail is truly awesome and the color changes are OMG-worthy! You'll run through beautiful alternating lush forests and open wetlands on a very flat, wide, crushed gravel trail, free of roots and rocks. All of the major road crossings are managed by way of bridges or viaducts (with only 4 minor road crossings along the whole 50K/50 Mile course, 2 on the Marathon course, and none for the Half-Marathon course).All races are basically an out and back along the northern segment of the Des Plaines River Trail system. This is a TRAIL RACE so you may encounter areas where you may run through some water. This race is run along the Des Plaines River which floods during heavy rains. If the course is flooded we will run the ALTERNATE course.
The Marathon is a Boston Qualifier
With expected cool temperatures, flat terrain, and ideal running surface, you'll find this trail to be extremely fast, which is perfect for a personal best, or a Boston Qualifying time.
Finisher Medals, Belt Buckles, Award Plaques
Finisher’s medal for every distance.Awards for overall male and female winners for each race and for 1st Place AG winners in each age group.
T-Shirts
Trying to forecast participant registration after our t-shirt lead time is slightly easier than predicting the weather, but only slightly. The result is many surplus shirts at the end of the year. We find that wasteful and frankly not very earth friendly.Because of the lead time, cost and wastefulness we entered the inventory of shirts purchased (August 6th). We ordered more that expected entrants. Choose the size you want. If you sign up late all shirt sizes may not be available so sign up early!
For Races that Have a Waitlist
For those who want to join the waitlist should one of our races reach capacity.

If you miss the window, your spot will go to the next person, so keep an eye on your inbox (check your spam/junk folders). If you're wondering where you stand on the waitlist? Tap on the Waitlist menu to see all those on the list.Do know that it’s impossible for us to know whether someone will get in based on where they’re at on the waitlist. Each year is different in terms of how fast it moves and when. Please don’t send an email to find out what your chances are of getting in. This is the reply we’ll give you.If you've got any unanswered questions, don't hesitate to drop us a line at [email protected]'re excited to have you as part of the DPR community, and we hope to see you at the starting line!

The Niles Family Services exists to aid those who need food, especially on an emergency basis. We want to make sure that every person has the food they need to sustain themselves.
Current Food Pantry Needs:
The highest priority need for donations to the food pantry right now are cleaning supplies.

Course Description The race takes place on a clearly marked 3.1-mile (5K) loop through the scenic trails of Busse Woods Forest Preserve in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Surrounded
by mature hardwood forests, peaceful lakes, and one of Chicagoland's most popular outdoor recreation areas, the course delivers a beautiful trail-running experience that feels surprisingly secluded despite being just minutes from O'Hare International Airport.The trail surface is primarily packed dirt with sections of crushed gravel and smooth natural trail. Gentle rolling terrain, flowing turns, and well-maintained paths create a fast, approachable course that welcomes first-time trail runners while still providing an enjoyable endurance challenge for experienced athletes over multiple laps.After every loop, runners return to the central start/finish area and fully stocked aid station, making it easy to refuel, reconnect with family or crew, and decide whether they're ready for another hour on the trail.Instead of committing to a fixed race distance before the event begins, runners build their mileage one lap at a time:1 loop: 5K2 loops: 10K3 loops: 15K4 loops: Half Marathon (13.1 miles)9
loops: Marathon (26.2 miles)10 loops: 50KWhether your goal is one lap or all ten, every completed loop contributes to your official race result. Race Format & Timing The Next Loop's format is designed to reward consistency, smart pacing, and personal decision-making.Every loop begins at the top of the hour, giving runners a scheduled recovery period between efforts. Use the break to hydrate, eat, stretch, change shoes, or simply relax before deciding whether to continue.Your official results are based on the number of completed loops and your combined cumulative loop time.Unlike traditional endurance races, there are no DNFs, missed cutoffs, or eliminations. When you decide your day is complete, your achievement is recognized exactly as you've earned it. Aid Stations & Support A fully stocked central aid station is available before the start of every hourly loop, providing hydration and basic nutrition throughout the day.Because every runner returns to the same base area after each lap,
support crews, family members, and spectators can easily cheer participants on, assist with fueling, or help with gear changes without needing to move around the course. The loop format also makes pacing and nutrition adjustments simple throughout the event. Runner Experience Busse Woods Forest Preserve is one of the Chicago area's premier running destinations, offering a peaceful escape with mature woodlands, scenic lakes, and smooth, runnable trails just minutes from the city. The flowing terrain keeps every lap enjoyable, while the familiar loop format allows runners to settle into a comfortable rhythm and focus on pacing, fueling, and forward progress throughout the day.The Next Loop creates an atmosphere that celebrates progress rather than perfection. Beginners can safely explore trail running without worrying about committing to more mileage than they're ready for, while experienced runners can use the format to practice pacing, nutrition, and race strategy over multiple hours. Every
participant shares the same course, creating a welcoming community where first-time trail runners and seasoned ultrarunners encourage one another throughout the day. Why Run The Next Loop? Most endurance races ask you to commit to a finish line before you've even taken your first step. The Next Loop is different. Built around flexibility, progression, and community, every event is designed to help runners define success on their own terms—whether that's finishing one loop, setting a personal best, or conquering an ultra-distance goal.Choose Your Challenge: Select the Endurance Series, 40 Mile Challenge, or 50 Mile Challenge to match your goals and experience.Every Mile Matters: In the Endurance Series, every completed loop counts toward your official result—no DNFs, no missed cutoffs, and no pressure to continue beyond your goals.Constant Support: The centralized start/finish area provides easy access to aid, crew, nutrition, and personal gear throughout the day.Built for Smart Racing:
Whether you're training for your next big event or racing for a personal best, the loop format makes pacing, fueling, and strategy easier than ever.Scenic Trail Experience: Enjoy beautiful singletrack, rolling hills, limestone bluffs, and forested terrain at one of the region's premier trail destinations.A Community That Cheers Every Finish: From first-time trail runners to seasoned ultrarunners, every achievement is celebrated and every runner belongs.

EverFurther was created to reimagine what endurance events could be — inclusive, progression-focused, and built for real-world athletes at every stage of their journey.
