The McNaughton Park Trail Runs, over distances of 50, 100 and 150 miles, is an annual ultramarathon running event held in Pekin, Illinois each spring on a rugged, ten-mile loop course. All three races are run concurrently. The 100 mile ultra is the only one held in Illinois. The 150 mile ultra, first held in 2007, is the only 150 mile race in the United States. As of 2007, the current race director is Andy Weinberg.

The loop course is primarily a single lane footpath, through natural countryside including forests and meadows.

The next edition will take place April 11-13, 2008. A thirty mile run, part of the event through 2006, was replaced by a 150-mile option beginning in 2007.
