The Race...... The 6th Annual "Thunder Rolls" adventure race, will follow the trails,
waterways and migration routes of Chief Black Hawk and the Sauk and Fox Indians of the
1800's through Rock Island county in western Illinois. The expedition style,
unsupported race will include canoeing, trail running/trekking, mountain biking,
orienteering/navigation, coasteering, pack rafting and ropes.
Teams of 3 will travel together for
50 - 100 miles, depending on the 12 or 24 hour race option, through two
states, forest preserves, fish and wildlife areas, state parks, historic
sites, state and federal recreation areas, previously inaccessible
private property and rural county roads.
This is not an urban adventure race! Western Rock
Island County is one of the least populated, most historic, and undeveloped areas in the
State of Illinois!
