Indiana Trail Running

⛳🏃‍♂️ FORE! A Trail Race Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Experienced! 🏃‍♀️⛳

Ready to trade your golf clubs for trail shoes?

The Trail Golf Endurance Challenge returns to Valparaiso on June 27, combining trail running and golf-inspired scoring into one of Indiana’s most unique endurance events! Instead of racing solely against the clock, every “hole” earns a score, and the lowest cumulative score wins. Choose from the 50K, 10 Mile, or Relay options and see if you can finish under par!

🎯 Why you’ll love it:
✅ One-of-a-kind trail running format
✅ Solo and relay divisions
✅ Strategy matters as much as speed
✅ Fun, welcoming atmosphere for experienced and newer trail runners alike
✅ Hosted at the beautiful Trailyard Outpost in Valparaiso
