Cereal Killer 15k Trail Run
The Cereal Killer 15k Trail Run is scheduled for March 7, 2027, at Red Mill County Park, 0185 S Holmesville Road, La Porte, IN 46350. The event is a trail race covering 15k through marked park trails.
Race day sign-ups, packet pick-up, and restrooms are located in the Smith Banquet building; participants should enter at the north entrance. All runners will receive a limited-edition short-sleeve shirt; once shirts are sold out, participants will receive a winter hat and gloves instead. The shirt design will be posted later.
The event has a cereal theme: after the race, a selection of breakfast cereals will be available with 2% milk, almond milk, and non-dairy milk. Coffee will be brewed on site.
The course is marked with flags and signs; runners are asked to follow the course markings rather than another runner. The 15k distance is completed by running four loops of the marked course. Timing uses an old-school method: finishers receive a popsicle stick with a number and must return that stick to the packet building as soon as possible. There is no formal awards ceremony; overall and age-group top finishers receive medals upon returning their stick.
Items from other races will be available for sale at $5 each, including t-shirts, hats, and coffee cups. The race is part of the Crazy Legs Race Series, which promotes non-pavement and pavement races in Northwest Indiana, holds events in parks across Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties, and states an inclusive participation policy for all gender identities. The series acknowledges the land as the seized territory of the Miami, Shawnee, and Illinois Nations and recognizes others who have stewarded the area.
