Tecumseh Trail Challenge

Tecumseh Trail Challenge Festival takes place at Yellowwood State Forest, near Nashville, Indiana. The event offers five distances: 50K, 50K relay (2-4 people), 26.2 marathon, 13.1 half, and 8 miles. The race starts and finishes at the Jackson Creek Trailhead parking lot.

Organizers emphasize a festival-style atmosphere with on-site camping (tent-only) and community vibes, plus primitive campsites and nearby lodging options. The course is described as demanding but rewarding, redesigned around railroad closures for a nostalgic feel, and uses an 8-mile loop for the 50K relay (32 miles total). Post-race perks include finisher medals, free finish-time engravings, a mashed potato bar, soup, fire pits, smores, and more. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
