Hawthorne 4-Hour Run
The Hawthorne 4-Hour Run is a timed endurance event scheduled for January 30, 2027 at Hawthorne Park Community Center in Porter, Indiana. As a new event for 2027, it uses a short loop course run repeatedly during the race.
Participants complete a one-mile loop as many times as possible within a four hour time limit. The course runs on town streets and is marked with flags and arrow signs at major turns. An aid station is located inside the community center, offering fuel and a place to warm up if conditions are cold.
Registrants receive a limited-edition t-shirt while supplies last; if t-shirts are sold out, winter hat and gloves are provided instead. The event is produced by the Crazy Legs Race Series, which promotes non-pavement and pavement races in Northwest Indiana with races held in Lake, Porter, and Laporte counties and an emphasis on a low-key atmosphere.
The series states that it welcomes and encourages participation regardless of sexual orientation, biological sex, gender identity, or gender expression. Transgender runners may register as the gender they identify with without documentation. Organizers also include an acknowledgement that the land used for races is the seized territory of the Miami, Shawnee, and Illinois Nations, and historically used by the Lenape (Delaware).
