Oakadoke Trail Runs

The Oakadoke Trail Runs, held in Valparaiso, Indiana, offer a scenic and challenging summer trail running experience at Creekside Trails. Participants can choose from three distances: 18 miles, 9 miles, and 4 miles. The 9-mile course is a full loop featuring tree-covered single-track paths, winding switchbacks, farmland views, and multiple creek bridge crossings.

The 18-mile race consists of two laps of this loop, while the 4-mile race covers roughly half the loop, focusing on the Salt Creek section. The course is characterized by varied terrain with many ups and downs, providing a fun and engaging Midwest trail run without mountainous elevation. The event concludes with a memorable post-race party. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
