Illinois Prairie Path has become a favorite for long runs; when I wanted to tackle a 24-mile training run, the GWT-IPP triangle was too good to pass up!
Accompanied by my friend and training companion Tommy Crawford, we ran counter-clockwise starting at the eastern point. Had a great cloudy day, with only a slight misty rain in the last few miles.
For anyone interested in this triangle, the GWT section has little shade and no water. The Elgin spur of the IPP has some water, great shade. And the Main Stem of the IPP has ample water, shade, and is easily accessible from all towns along the route. We carried our own fuel and refilled water at public fountains along the route.
