Knobstone 50
The Knobstone 50 is a point-to-point trail race held April 10, 2027 in Borden, Indiana. The event is a single distance race of 50 Mile along the Knobstone Trail, billed as Indiana's longest footpath.
The course travels north from Deam Lake State Recreation Area to Delaney Creek Park and accumulates roughly 10,000 ft of elevation gain. The route passes steep climbs, exposed viewpoints, and forested backcountry terrain. A shuttle service runs between the finish and start parks. Pacers are allowed.
Organizers apply proactive cut-offs at aid stations, and the overall cut-off has been extended by two hours compared to the previous year. Each finisher may have their name etched onto a ceremonial Finisher Slab. Podium awards are given to the top three male and top three female finishers; there is not currently additional awarding in the non-binary category.
Race policies include a pregnancy and new child deferral option that allows deferment of an entry for up to two years when eligibility conditions are met; the race may require proof and asks that the Race Director be contacted at least one week prior to race day to process a deferment.
The event is organized by Trailblazer Running, an organization that states its focus on adventure, community, and environmental stewardship in Midwest trail events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
