Knobstone 50
The Knobstone 50 is a 50 Mile point to point trail race on April 10, 2027 in Borden, Indiana, organized by Trailblazer Running. The course follows the Knobstone Trail from Deam Lake State Recreation Area to Delaney Creek Park and is routed along Indiana's longest footpath.
The route accumulates roughly 10,000 feet of elevation gain and traverses steep, hilly terrain that is often compared to the Appalachian Mountains. The course passes through forested backcountry with steep climbs and scenic vistas. A shuttle bus operates between the finish and start locations before race day.
Organizers note that the overall cut-off has been extended by two hours compared to the previous year, and proactive cut-offs at aid stations have been updated. Each finisher will have their name etched onto the Finisher Slab, a ceremonial piece of live edge wood kept as a permanent record for that year.
Trailblazer Running accepts each entrant’s declared gender and allows registration as Male, Female, or Non-Binary; there is an option to indicate desired pronouns. Podium awards are planned for the top three male and top three female finishers at the distance, while there is currently no additional awarding in the non-binary category.
Optional race merchandise includes a custom performance hat made with 100% recycled materials, available as an add-on during registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
