The event takes place on March 20, 2027 in Poland, IN, set in Owen Putnam State Forest with Horse Campground used as the Start/Finish area. The race is organized by OPSF 5050 and provided by the non-profit Indiana Trail Running Association.
Distances offered:

The course is a lollipop design that uses mostly single track and horse trails with some fire road. Organizers describe roughly 90% single track with rolling hills and sections that can be more demanding. The 50 mile course follows the lollipop loop multiple times with an additional loop; the 50K follows the loop twice plus a short returning loop; the 10K is a single loop. Aid stations do not provide cups; participants must be able to carry 20 oz of water on their person at all times.
Weather in mid March can vary widely; past years have included winter storm conditions as well as mild dry days. Entry cost varies by distance with a listed price range of USD 48.50 to USD 120.65. Packet pick-up occurs before race day and there is same-day packet pick-up at the Start/Finish. Parking and shuttle arrangements are provided for the 14 mile and 10K fields with a designated parking location at the Owen County Family YMCA; 50 mile and 50K participants park at Horse Campground.
Camping at Horse Campground is available for a fee, first come basis, with limited sites. Entrants registered by March 1 receive event swag; age group awards and finisher medals are given to finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
