Champaign-Urbana, IL

Champaign-Urbana is dead flat, making it ideal for speed work and tempo runs on roads and the expansive Kickapoo State Park trail system. The Amdocs Champaign 5K and Power of Parks 5K draw local runners to consistent, fast courses through town and adjacent parks. Cyclists can exploit the pancake terrain for high-mileage rides, though serious elevation seekers head south 90 minutes to the Ozarks; the C-U Triathlon and Tri The Illini leverage the region's flatness for competitive multisport racing.
