Lincoln state park, and the event, is in the CENTRAL time zone.  You do not need to travel too far to get into the Eastern time zone.  We highly recommend confirming your time zone if you are staying nearby the evening before the event.

This is a trail race, and trail races are often not exact distance.  In the spirit of the outdoors who would argue about a tenth of a mile here or there and worry about exactly how long the race is?  The Race Director has personally run this course many times with a Garmin 405 and averaging all of the data reveals an overall course distance of 26.3 miles.  That extra tenth is just for good measure! 

As mentioned throughout the website, the major point of this event is to put on an environmentally friendly race.  We strive to continue reducing our environmental impact and help others realize how easy it can be.  This is a great event held in a beautiful Indiana state park - the memories you'll leave with will outlast one more shirt for the drawer or closet... 

In order to avoid inconveniencing park personnel we decided against doing this (they would have to get a list of registrants and take the time to double-check the name of every person who drives in and says they're part of the race).  Instead, we have factored this into registration fees which you will notice are quite low for an organized running event these days.  You'll still have to pay at the gate, but the race will still have cost less than most others.  Also, enforcing the pay-on-the-day-of fee will hopefully encourage carpooling from folks who have that opportunity. 

As long as you contact the Race Director via phone & email AT LEAST 48 HOURS BEFORE THE RACE START we will work to accommodate your transfer.  We cannot make promises, but we will try.  You MUST have all pertinent registration information for your replacement included in an email that is sent and then follow up with a phone call. 

Although this is something commonly not allowed with running events we will accommodate refund request ONLY if the Race Director is contacted before the end of early registration.  After early registration ends refunds will not be provided.  ALSO NOTE that the refund amount will only be equal to the initial cost of the race registration, NOT the additional fee collected by RaceIt.com during the registration process.  Credits for future events are not allowed.
