A few of us came down on Friday afternoon to see the 150-mile runners at McNaughton finish their first lap. Saturday, those of us doing "only" the 50-miler will have our chance on the course. Thankfully, the rain is supposed to be done by then, but I think there will still be some mud left for us. McNaughton, near Pekin, IL, offers a 50, 100 and 150 race. This year's race took place the weekend of April 10-12.
