About Eddy Trail Races
Eddy Trail Races are a weekend of races based at Chi Rho Center on the south side of Lake Sylvia, on the outskirts of Annandale, MN. The 50k and a half marathon will run through the Stanley Eddy Park Reserve, a wonderful series of trails in our nook of the state.
Run one race or participate in a Challenge running both a race on Saturday and the Half Marathon on Sunday!
Have you ever gone to a race and been rushed before or after because of lodging or other logistics? Have you ever met people on the course then not seen them again? You have the opportunity to lodge at Chi-Rho, hang out with fellow runners for the weekend, not worry about your meals, all while relaxing at an amazing lake in central Minnesota.
Challenge Events!
Big Eddy Challenge – Run the 50k on Saturday and the Half Marathon on Sunday

Lodging and Meals
Races can be stressful; from worrying about your meals, lodging, and travel to worrying about your preparation and so much more!
Eddy Trail Races attempts to address some of those concerns so you can focus on doing more of what you love instead of all the logistics. We offer onsite lodging both Friday and Saturday nights in different settings, in addition to serving six buffet style meals throughout the weekend.
There will be 3 lodging options available for you to stay onsite. We will have cabins of various sizes with multiple bunk beds in an open room, dorms with 2 bunk beds in a room, or pitch your own tent! If you want to lodge with specific individuals or want a group to be together, please let us know.
Also, there are showers onsite for use for all who are lodging to use.
Buffet style meals will be offered at 5pm Friday, 6am, noon, and 5pm Saturday, and 6am and noon on Sunday.
