Trail Golf Endurance Challenge

Valparaiso, United States • 28 Jun 2025

The Trail Golf Endurance Challenge is a unique trail running event held in Valparaiso, Indiana, featuring distances of 50K, 10 miles, and relay options. Inspired by golf, participants complete a series of 3-4 mile routes called "holes," starting at the top of each hour. Runners aim for the lowest cumulative score based on their pace and timing, with scoring similar to golf terms like "Birdie" and "Eagle." The event emphasizes endurance, strategy, and self-sufficiency, as runners must carry their own hydration and fuel. It promotes inclusivity and offers youth discounts, with awards for top finishers and teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
