Tryon Farm 50k

Michigan City, United States • 3 Oct 2026

Event Overview

The Tryon Farm trail event takes place in Michigan City, Indiana, at Tryon Farm. The course is designed as a 4-mile loop that traverses a variety of terrain including open grassy fields, single track dirt trails, and small sections of pavement used to connect different parts of the trail system. The event benefits the Tryon Farm Institute and is managed by the Crazy Legs Race Series.

Participants can choose from several distance options based on the number of completed loops:

  • 2 mile Fun Run/Walk
  • 4 mile Trail Run (one loop)
  • 8 mile Trail Run (two loops)
  • 25k Trail Run (four loops)
  • 50k Trail Run (eight loops)

Course Details and Facilities

The primary aid station is located at the start and finish line area. There is an additional non-manned station providing water and electrolyte drinks situated near the 1.5-mile mark of the loop. Two portable toilets are available at the main station, though there are no bathroom facilities located directly on the course trail. Runners are required to wear their bibs on the front of their shirts to facilitate manual loop counting.

Logistics

Because there is no parking available at the immediate start and finish area, attendees must park at Head Start of Laporte County, located at 811 Royal Road. From there, it is a short walk to the event site. The Crazy Legs Race Series maintains an open registration policy, welcoming participants of all gender identities and expressions without requiring specific documentation.
