Valparaiso, Indiana (United States of America) - "Oakadoke Trail Runs". This summer-time race features the entirety of what Creekside Trails has to offer: scenic tree-covered single-track, winding switchbacks, surprisingly cool views of farmland, multiple bridge crossings over a babbling creek (hence “Creekside”), and a post-race party just as memorable as the race itself. The 9-mile course is one full loop through the trails. Two laps of this loop complete the 18-mile race, and the 4-mile race splits the main loop roughly in half, sending you straight out to the Salt Creek section. This is a challenging course. There are many ups and downs, twists and turns, and uneven surfaces. It’s a Midwest trail (no mountains), but it’s certainly not flat. The course is also incredibly fun, scenic, and never gets boring. Come join us for a wild ride as we continue this summer-time trail running tradition! Race information: start times are Saturday, August 2nd, 2025—8:00 AM for the 18-mile start, 9:00 AM for the 9-mile start, and 9:30 AM for the 4-mile start. Cut-off times are 10:45 AM to leave the halfway point (18-mile race only) and 1:30 PM as the overall cut-off at the finish line. The start/finish line location is Twin Creeks Farm, 2251 Clifford Rd, Valparaiso, IN 46385. See the event website for more detailed race information. www.trailblazerrunning.co/oakadoke-trail-runs
