Valparaiso, Indiana (United States of America) - "Oakadoke Trail Runs". Oakadoke Trail Runs is your summer trail running tradition, and the post-race celebration is every bit as good as the miles that come before it! Set on the beautiful single-track of Creekside Trails in Valparaiso, this one's as much about the hang as the run. Lush greenery, pond views, rolling grasslands, and just enough twists, dips, and bridge crossings to keep things interesting from start to finish. Three distances mean there's a spot for everyone — first-timers, regulars, and those of you who just want an excuse to be outside all morning. The 4-mile gives you a taste of the vast trail system. The 9-mile takes you through the best Creekside has to offer. The 18-mile does it all twice, and you'll absolutely love each lap. The trails aren't flat, but they're not out to break you either. Expect variety: smooth stretches and rooty patches, gentle climbs and quick descents — the kind of course that keeps your brain as engaged as your legs. After the finish, stick around. Food, cold drinks, and good company await. Camping is available onsite the night before and after the race, so there's no rush to be anywhere!
