Prepare to embark on a pioneering journey at the inaugural UltraVerse Test Event in Carpentersville, IL, on October 25, 2026. This unique race offers an extraordinary challenge with two demanding distances: a 50HR ultra-endurance test and a rigorous 23K. As a "Test Event," participants will be among the first to experience what promises to be a distinctive addition to the ultra-running calendar, forging new trails and setting the standard for future editions.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions around late October, with comfortable highs near 58°F and cooler lows around 38°F, alongside a relatively low 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal conditions for sustained effort. While specific course details remain part of the inaugural mystery, the flat-to-rolling landscapes often found in the region suggest a course that will test both speed and endurance. The UltraVerse Test Event is designed for those seeking an adventure, an opportunity to push personal limits, and to be part of the foundational history of what may become a highly anticipated annual race.
