Enter early & save! Don’t wait to see what the weather is like!! Don’t listen to others who say you’re nuts! Celebrate 35 years of Kennekuk. The 28th Annual Siberian Express – Hawaiian Style! 7.45 miles trail run on the Wilderness Trail in Kickapoo State Park – West of Danville, IL. Take I-74 to Exit 210 then follow the signs.
Run the best course of its kind in the Midwest. Don’t wait to see what the weather is going to be—It’s the Midwest and it’s January! Last year it was 1 inch snow and cold with a low of 4 and a high of 19! In 1999 we had a blizzard with 10 foot drifts & the event still took place. Past events had minus 20 degree wind chill, freezing rain, snow, heavy rain, ankle deep mud and two days in the 60’s. So register early, save lots of money & don’t worry about the weather because you will have a fun day of running and partying.
