Trail Golf Endurance Challenge

Website Registration

The Trail Golf Endurance Challenge, held in Valparaiso, Indiana, is a unique trail running event featuring distances of 50K, 50K relay, 10 miles, and 10-mile relay. Unlike traditional races, it uses a golf-style scoring system where runners complete 3-4 mile "holes" each hour, aiming for the lowest cumulative stroke score rather than fastest time. The 50K includes 9 holes with about 1700 feet of elevation gain, while the 10-mile race has 3 holes totaling around 500 feet of gain.

Participants rest and refuel between holes, with no on-course aid allowed. The event fosters inclusivity and offers youth discounts and support for underrepresented runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.

Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
