About the race
Lake Vista Lunatics Run is a trail endurance event on November 8, 2026 in Borden, IN at Deam Lake State Recreation Area. It offers timed endurance formats and a single-lap fun run on a marked loop that returns to a crew area and aid station.
Distances and formats:
- 12 Hour endurance run
- 6 Hour endurance run
- Fun Run : one lap
The loop measures 4.167 miles. The course includes a summit with sustained grades around 25% to 30%, several creek crossings that can usually be hopped, occasional downed trees, and rooty to rocky technical sections near the top. Runners pass a crew area/start line where water bottles and nutrition can be topped between laps.
Participants run repeated laps for either six or twelve hours; total time for all laps is calculated and the fastest total time with no missed laps determines the winner in the endurance divisions. The event is not a last-person-standing format. Limited on-site backup electrolytes and nutrition are available, but runners are expected to bring their own hydration and fueling and may be accompanied by family or crew.
Registration is limited to fewer than 50 spots before waitlisting. Finishers receive a medal, top male and female endurance champions earn prizes, and a "Freddie" beanie cap is included with registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
