Knobstone 50

Knobstone 50

Knobstone 50 is a point-to-point 50 Mile trail race in Borden, Indiana, organized by Trailblazer Running. The course follows the Knobstone Trail from Deam Lake State Recreation Area to Delaney Creek Park and accumulates roughly 10,000 ft of elevation gain. The trail is Indiana's longest footpath and is often described as "The Little AT" due to its steep, hilly landscape.

Shuttle transportation is provided between Delaney Creek Park and Deam Lake State Recreation Area. The event uses proactive aid station cut-offs expressed as distance and elapsed time: Elk Creek at 32.8 mi / 12 hr 10 min, Oxley at 38.2 mi / 14 hr 15 min, Spurgeon at 44.1 mi / 16 hr 30 min, and a final cut-off at 50.0 mi / 19 hr.

Each finisher can have their name etched onto the event Finisher Slab. Podium awards are presented to the top three male and top three female finishers; there is currently no additional awarding in the non-binary category. Registrants may declare Male, Female, or Non-Binary and may provide desired pronouns during registration.

Optional race merchandise includes a commemorative performance hat made from 100% recycled materials. Race rules, cancellation policies, deferment details for pregnancy and new child situations, and other event policies are maintained by the organizer.
