The main trail loop (map above) is 10km.
Place of confusion: The course is well marked and easy to follow, but every year we have a couple of people make the same error, only one mile into the course - MAKE SURE YOU CROSS THE 7IL DRIVEWAY AT THE UNMANNED WATER STATION. This section is two-way traffic of inbound/outbound runners. You must go all the way out to Hot Tamales before coming back to the start/finish.
135M/26.2M/13.1M: Have an additional add-on at the start of the loop. Look for signs for your event and follow pre-race instructions.
Town Start: New for 2026, the 100M, 100K, 50K, and Relay (leg 1) will start at high noon in Bellville. The first "loop" is the 10km from town to the ranch. All other events and relay legs start at the 7IL start/finish.
Vehicles: Bellville to 7IL Route
VEHICLE TRAFFIC FROM BELLVILLE TO 7IL:
Please avoid taking Mill Creek Rd directly from Bellville to the ranch between Noon and 1 PM (while the runners are on the route).
Vehicles should take the alternate route to 7IL Ranch, entering from the south side of Mill Creek Rd from Cat Spring.
