Participants can participate in one of three races offered:

The Lite Challenge

Participants in this challenge will run the short course at each park. These courses will range 1-3 miles in length. This would be a great opportunity for participants to participate with the entire family, or those just beginning their journey in the world of running/walking.

The Challenge

Participants in this challenge will run courses varying from 3-6 miles in length. Participants should note that many of these runs will be on trails. This IS a challenge!

The ULTRA Challenge

This one is not for the faint of heart! This challenge is for runners that are looking into putting in some serious mileage in a short amount of time. Runners in this challenge will have 48 hours to complete all five courses (runners must respect the hours of the park). Participants in this challenge will have to show proof of their runs (with the date and time) using screenshots of their running apps.



Heres how it works:

Choose your distance! When you are registering, you will need to decide if you want to run the long courses or the short courses." Once you commit to a course, you must stick with it for the duration of the challenge.

After you register, course maps will be sent.

LEARN THE COURSES! When you register, you will be emailed maps of each parks course. You can complete the courses in any order. While the courses will be marked and checked multiple times during the week, WVRR cannot guarantee that signs and chalk marks will be visible. If you notice markings missing, please let us know! It is the runners responsibility to know the course.

RUN THE COURSES! Get out to the parks and RUN. Take the family, meet a small group of friends, and enjoy the amazing parks that Vigo County has to offer. The start/finish lines will be marked with a Run the Parks sign. Signs will mark turns and will line some of the course to help guide runners.

UPLOAD YOUR TIMES! When you finish a run, you will need to go back to Runsignup to put in your times. Make sure to select the correct park course when entering your times. You will need to keep evidence of your runs.
