Description

The crew at Wolf Pack Adventures is excited to bring you this unique event at Indiana's second-largest state park. Run as many 5K loops as you can in 8 hours at Versailles State Park!

Complete at least four loops to officially complete the race. You do not need to run for 8 hours. You can run for as long as it takes you to run four loops. Your official race time will be recorded as the time you complete your fourth loop. Results will be recorded as the total number of loops each participant runs in 8 hours. Whoever runs the most loops in 8 hours is the 8 Hours of Power champion.

Versailles State Park has a deep history rooted in both the Civil War and the Civilian Conservation Corps. Numerous fossils tell the story of an ancient sea that covered the region and steps to a scenic overlook at the dam are a prime spot to see herons and other aquatic wildlife.
