  The Central Illinois Summer Trail Series is excited to host the second race of the season at Black Partridge Park in Metamora, IL—home of the Metamora Redbirds cross country team and a local favorite for challenging, scenic runs!

  This 450+ acre gem delivers over 8 miles of flowing singletrack that winds through deep ravines, crosses creeks on numerous bridges, climbs steep hillsides to wooded plateaus, and rolls through mature forests with rolling terrain and natural obstacles. Expect an exciting mix of technical sections, shaded canopy, and that classic Midwest trail magic—perfect for testing your legs and soaking up summer vibes in the woods.

  Join us at Opie’s 116 for the Woodford County stop on the Spirits Run • Illinois Adventure Series — a statewide journey to complete a 5K in all 102 counties. Roanoke offers a quiet, scenic stretch of prairie roads and a peaceful turnaround at the historic Roanoke Township Cemetery, creating the perfect blend of small‑town charm and classic Spirits Run atmosphere.

  This untimed, community‑focused 5K begins and ends at Opie’s 116, where runners will check in, grab their swag, and enjoy the post‑run celebration. The route follows safe, low‑traffic streets with a simple out‑and‑back design, making it friendly for walkers, runners, strollers, and anyone collecting their next county stamp
