The Armed Forces Endurance Run (AFER) is a timed endurance running event held at Bixler Lake Park in Kendallville, Indiana, honoring active duty service members and veterans. Participants can choose from 6, 12, or 24-hour race options, running loops on a scenic 3-mile course that circles Bixler Lake, featuring asphalt and trail surfaces. The course includes indoor restrooms and passes through wetlands, beaches, and woodlands.

A 24-hour relay option is available for teams of three. The event offers camping near the start/finish line, a well-stocked aid station, and live music by an all-veteran band, creating a supportive and festive atmosphere. Runners receive unique medals and mileage-based awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
