Event Description
**All Permits have been Approved...WooHoo! **
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 26, 2026
(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.
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 10th. There might be limited quantities on hand on race day.
These will be made by our local T-shirt guru BadKnees Tees.
Come join us and lets have some trail fun...WooHoo!
Check out our other two events..
This is the OG event that started all this nutty fun. This is a one of a kind 100K & 20 mile "fun run" that has true Hoosier hospitality. Loaded with volunteers that will get you to that finish and stories that are going to convince other folks to do stupid things.
Remember...you don't have to run ther whole thing. Just keep going from trail buffet to trail buffet...or what other events call aid stations.
- Energetic Volunteers (fellow Ultra nuts)
- Skratch products for fueling...along with other AMAZING trail treats
- Best Not Yet World Famous Squirrel Swag you could EVER get.
- Functional finisher award that you can immediately use to partake in a refreshing finisher bevie....WooHoo!
