Event summary

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at the False Spring Trail Runs on Saturday, March 18, 2023, in the picturesque setting of La Porte, Laporte! This exciting event features a stunning course that showcases beautiful woodsy single-track trails, winding switchbacks, and breathtaking views of serene lakes and ponds.

The trails are anything but flat and fast, making for a truly memorable experience that promises fun and challenge in equal measure. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a newcomer, this race invites you to embrace the unpredictability of Mother Nature, as past events have seen everything from chilly temps in the teens to pleasant highs of 64°F.

Organiser's description

This race features beautiful woodsy single-track, relentlessly winding switchbacks, multiple views of lakes and ponds, and post-race festivities waiting for you at the finish line.

The well-established dirt trails are split into two sides with one being about a 2 mile loop and the other about 4.2 miles. The 10K course is one full loop through the trails while the 20K is two laps.

This course is not flat. Its not fast. Its very challenging. It is highly unlikely you will PR. However, it is incredibly fun, its scenic, and it will most certainly be memorable. Come discover this hidden gem and join us as we kick-off the Spring racing season!

Whats a False Spring?

Every year in the Midwest Mother Nature tends to tantalize us with a warm patch of days just before smacking us in the face with more freezing temps. Will the sun be out on race day? Cant say for sure, but thats part of the fun of it. Last year it was cooooold with temps in the teens and some 20mph winds. The year before was 38^0 and drizzling, and three years ago it hit a high of 64^0 that weekend. Expect the unexpected and come prepared!
