Glacial Esker 6-12-24 Hour Trail Race

The Glacial Esker 6-12-24 Hour Trail Race takes place April 25–26, 2026 in Albion, Indiana. The event is part of the Ignite Trail Series and is based at 2355 E 75 S, Albion, IN 46701.

The course is a loop of 3.55 miles with a single aid station located at the start/finish area. Only full loops count toward a runner's mileage total in the timed events. With 30 minutes remaining in each event, organizers will open an additional 1/8 mile out-and-back segment so participants can increase their mileage totals.

The event offers multiple timed formats: 6-hour, 12-hour (two separate starts) and 24-hour. Entry is open to participants aged 16 to 80. Registration closes approximately one week before the event and there is no day-of-race registration. Event procedures specify that only completed loops count for official distance totals and that the short out-and-back segment near the end is available to extend recorded mileage.
