On-line registration for this event
will be open through March 12th. Note that we are starting
from the southern parking lot located off of Schaumburg Road, not
the usual shelter from the entrance on 59. The sign at the lot reads
Poplar Creek Equestrian area.
There will be a short course and a long course.
Masks are required when you are near others, especially
at the start/finish area.
Details:
The Poplar Creek map, located in the western part of the 4,200-acre
Poplar Creek Forest Preserve in Hoffman Estates, features open woods,
gently rolling prairie, its namesake creek, and a variety of trails.
The topography is subtle with a few shallow reentrants, knolls and
depressions. Ruins of old buildings and fences are common in the
south and west sections of the map. At the northern edge of the
map, there is a small nature preserve containing pristine, undisturbed
prairie land, a rarity in Illinois.
Directions:
Take the Northwest Tollway (I-90) 19 miles west of O'Hare to Exit
11—Sutton Road-South (Hwy 59); proceed south 2.6 miles to
Schaumburg road. Take a right on Schaumburg road and follow it 0.6
miles west to the forest preserve entrance opposite Rosewood Dr.
There is limited parking at this location--if the lot is full, try
Rosewood Dr.
