Saw Wee Kee - Fall Trail Run

Saw Wee Kee - Fall Trail Run takes place in Yorkville, Illinois, on October 17, 2026. A single format is offered, a 4-mile trail run (6.4 km), held at Saw Wee Kee Park along the Fox River west of Chicago. One distance, one morning, and a short enough race that most runners are finished within the hour.

Short trail races like this fill a useful role: they are approachable for beginners, they make a good tune-up for anyone in the middle of a longer training block, and they are easy to bring a family to. Four miles asks for no special preparation beyond a regular running habit, though a couple of runs on dirt beforehand will get your ankles used to uneven footing. Expect a slower pace than a road 5K and don't read anything into it.
