Farmdale
Oct 10, 2026
Now in its twenty-first year, Farmdale takes runners on 10-mile loops around Farmdale Reservoir — an 800-acre Army Corps of Engineers property tucked between East Peoria, Washington, and Morton in central Illinois. The terrain mixes single-track, service road, and open prairie with approximately 6,200 feet of total gain. The 32-hour cutoff applies, crew access is limited to the start/finish, and pacers are allowed once runners complete the first loop. Buckles go to all 100-mile finishers.
