Lake Vista Lunatics Run : Deam Lake SRA, Nov 8, 2026
The Lake Vista Lunatics Run is a trail endurance event held at Deam Lake State Recreation Area in Borden, IN (1217 Deam Lake Road) on Nov 8, 2026. The event offers endurance formats and a single-lap fun run: participants may enter either a 6 hour or 12 hour endurance option, or a one-lap fun run.
The marked loop is 4.167 miles long. The course features a summit with sustained steep grades of about 25 to 30 percent, several creek crossings that can often be hopped, occasional downed trees, and rooty, rocky technical sections near the top. After completing a lap runners return to the crew area/start for hydration and nutrition resupply before beginning additional laps for the chosen duration. Total time for all laps is calculated; the fastest overall pace and lowest total time with no missed laps determine the endurance winners. The format is not last-man-standing.
Trail running takes place on a popular southern Indiana segment and there are prizes for top finishers as well as door or random prizes. Finishers receive a medal and the top male and female endurance champions receive prizes. A Lake Vista baseball cap is included with registration. Registration is limited to fewer than 50 spots before a wait-list is used to control attendance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
