JULY 18: WEST DUNDEE

The ‘Leg Breaker’ finish of the West Dundee River Challenge p/b davey returns for the eighth year!
Incorporated in 1887, the Village of West Dundee is a small river town nestled in the suburbs of Chicago along the Fox River. The downtown is home to unique eateries and shops and the nearby Fox River Bike Trail. The course makes a 0.9 mile loop through the historic Old Town North neighborhood, passing historic houses, racing alongside the Fox River and finally charging up the famous Leg Breaker Hill.
