The Shawnee Hills Trail Races immerse runners in the rugged wilderness of Southern Illinois' Shawnee National Forest, with distances ranging from a half marathon to a grueling 100-miler. Starting at the historic Camp Ondessonk, the course traverses deep sandstone canyons and dense oak-hickory forests while challenging athletes with intense summer humidity and highly technical terrain.
