About the Cap Sauers Trail 10 Mile

The Cap Sauers 10 Mile is a single loop of the Sag Valley Trail system inside the Cap Sauers Holding Nature Preserve near Palos Hills, Illinois. The preserve is the largest tract of undeveloped land in Cook County, and the course follows wide horse trails that allow two-way traffic, so runners pass each other and cheer along the way. The race runs on the Saturday of race weekend alongside the trail marathon, whose first two circuits cover this same 10 mile course.
