The Universal Sole Summer Trail Challenge takes place on June 27, 2026, at Wolf Road Woods in the Palos Trail System near Willow Springs, Illinois, with races beginning at 9:00 a.m. Participants choose from three distances—3 miles, 6 miles, or 9 miles—all run on the same loop course featuring double and single track terrain with crushed limestone, dirt, rocks, roots, and undulating terrain. Race day registration and packet pickup occur from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at the USOLE Tents on-site. All finishers receive a premium giveaway item and access to post-race brews and snacks including granola bars and bananas.
