Jennie Hamilton Memorial Trail Run

Event details

The Jennie Hamilton / JH Memorial 5 Mile Trail Run is a 5 mile trail race held on May 25, 2026, at Stoney Run County Park in Hebron, Indiana (9230 E 142nd Ave, 46341). The course will be marked with flags and arrow signs at major turns. An aid station with water and Gatorade is located a little past mile 3. Timing uses a paper "stick" system handed out at the finish that participants must turn in. All entrants receive a water bottle for registering. Water, Gatorade, and snacks will be available after the race. The course may include mud, standing water, insects, and a pond crossing near the end; a detour option avoids the pond and adds about 0.10 mile. The organizer advises bringing extra clothes to change into after the race and suggests using bug spray.
