WHAT A DAY TO
RUN THE FOREST

Perfect weather and great company
​lead to a great day at Izaak Walton

The great weather in 2022 encouraged spectators to cheer on their friends and family at the picturesque Izaak Walton Preserve in Homewood.

Join us for Illinois' premier trail race. The Run Forest Run, celebrating its 16th annual running this year, was conceived to eschew all the formalities of a traditional road race. Enjoy the beauty of nature and the thrill of nature in a bucolic setting far from the din of dj music and the constant city noise. The Homewood Izaak Walton Preserve provides a cool and quick course for our small and inspired field. We hope to see you on the starting line again this year!
