Eddy Trail Races are based at Chi Rho Center on the south side of Lake Sylvia, on the outskirts of Annandale, MN. The 50k and a half marathon run through the Stanley Eddy Park Reserve, a wonderful series of trails in our nook of the state. Big Eddy and The Eddy are more than just races, they are beautiful MN trails, an experience of elevation, pain, perseverance, comradery, and so much more! Whether you are new to the trails or these distances or you are a seasoned trail distance runner, both races will push you to your limit and give you great success. Our aid station crews will be supporting you every step of the way.

The Big Eddy 50k is approximately 51-52 kilometers and runs through Stanley Eddy Park Reserve, with loops through each of the parks, as well as running the roads that connect the parks and Chi Rho Center. There is 1 main aid station that you will run 6 times and 3 other aid stations that you will run by 2 times each. The course is closer to 51 or 52 kilometers than 50. The time limit for the Big Eddy (50k) is 10 hours.

The Eddy Half Marathon is a wonderful mix of trails, gravel and a little bit of paved road. 8 miles of trails, 3 miles of gravel, and some pavement at the start and end of the race. There are 3 different aid stations, 1 that you pass by 3 times. The time limit for The Eddy (half) is 4 hours.

Lodging and meals are available at Chi Rho Center. Packet pickup is available on Friday evening and Saturday morning.
