![]() The Valentine's Trail Challenge - 4.5 Miles
**February 12th, 2022 @ 10am** Now in it's 7th year, the USOLE Valentine's Trail Challenge is back @ Schiller Woods for 2022. We will be using the same course as the December Trail Challenge, but with snow covered trails instead of mud covered trails. Schiller Woods is a great location very close to the city with fantastic trails and plenty of tree lined scenery along the legendary Des Plaines River Trail (DPRT). Plan to join us February 12th and find out the magic that is the USOLE Valentine's Trail Challenge. Waiting for everyone as they cross the finish will be Will's Famous Chili...a long standing USOLE Trail Challenge post trail race tradition. Still plenty of time to register and join us. Be sure to use code USOLE10 and get 10% off of your registration! POSSIBLE WEATHER ALERT! DUE TO POSSIBLE SNOWY CONDITIONS, SOME SECTIONS OF THIS COURSE ARE SNOW, MUD AND ICE COVERED! WE RECOMMEND ALL RUNNERS WEAR CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK SPIKES OR A PAIR OF YAKTRAX (SEE PIC) TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE AND GAIN TRACTION ON THE SNOW/ICE SECTIONS. YAKTRAX CAN BE WORN ON ANY RUNNING SHOE!
