Event Description
**Permits Pending**
Well, one of our local beloved trail races of over 20 plus years has been laid to rest but it's time to pick up the torch and replace it with another. All the same distances, on the same trails, and in our beloved Morgan Monroe State Forest.
Behold......Run With The Squirrels (RWTS) ....Sunday April 25, 2027
(This is in no way sanctioned, presented, hosted, or affiliated, in any way with Hoosier Hikers Council)
Distances of 5k, 10k, 10 mile and half marathon.
It will be very similar in the fact it is low cost and low frills. No finisher medals, just the satisfaction that you did something amazing out in mother nature...WooHoo!
There will be basic aid stations for the 10k, 10 miler, and 13.1 mile events.
Race fee does not include a T shirt. This has been a request by numerous runners to decrease on waste.
This year’s race logo will be created by a Bloomington North art student. The hope is that each year’s Run With The Squirrels will have a new logo, so you can collect each unique one.
This is where you help. Woohoo Trail Fun LLC will donate 50% of the proceeds from all shirt sales to the art program that helps design that years logo.
If you would like to purchase one you have the option to make it an add-on for $15. You must add the shirt before APRIL 2nd. There will be limited quantities on hand on race day.
These will be printed by our local T-shirt guru BadKnees Tees.
Come join us and lets have some trail fun...WooHoo!
🐿️ Referral Rewards = 💰
Lets see how many nuts you can gather.
Yup, you will be rewarded for all the nuts you can gather to join you at this years Run With The Squirrels.
How would you like to get almost your whole entry fee back?
It's simple.
- Find your registration confirmation
- Locate your referral code...it's exclusive to you...yes you are special😁
- Share this code on social media, via emails, text, tattoo (not recommended), smoke signals
- Convince five nuts to use your code & boom. You get your hard earned stash back
For 5 referrals this is the refund:
- 5k = $20
- 10k = $30
- 10 miler = $40
- Half Marathon = $50
It works like magic. Once that "golden acorn" of a 5th person uses your code, you will typically receive the afore mentioned refund back in the account you paid from.
Good luck scurrying around and gathering those nuts.
Your acorn trails......
