About the race

The Chupacabra Endurance 10-hour Run takes place on August 28, 2027 at Bluhm County Park in Westville, Indiana. The event name references the folkloric chupacabra; the organiser includes a brief definition of that creature and a note about cryptozoology as a field that studies disputed or legendary animals.

The event uses a repeated loop format. Organisers run the clock every hour and each runner has one hour to complete a loop of about 4.1 miles. Runners who do not finish a loop within the hour are removed from the race. Winners are determined by who runs the final loop the fastest. No human or animal pacers are allowed; violation of that rule results in disqualification.

Support at the start and finish area includes room for a personal crew station at the shelter, plus Gatorade, water and snacks provided by the organisers. Participants receive a limited-edition event t-shirt. Timing chips are awarded only after a runner completes four loops. Completing four to six loops earns a red chip per loop; seven to nine loops earn a blue chip per loop. Chips can be exchanged at prize tables that match chip colors; red table items include shirts and a coffee mug and blue table items include various prizes and free entries for Crazy Legs Race Series events.

Registration fees vary by date, with multiple pricing tiers listed; shown amounts include mandatory charges and fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
