Oakadoke Trail Runs
Oakadoke Trail Runs takes place at Twin Creeks Farm in Valparaiso, IN and uses the Creekside Trails network. The course features tree-covered single-track, winding switchbacks, multiple bridge crossings over a creek, and intermittent views of surrounding farmland. Surfaces are uneven with frequent climbs and descents typical of Midwest trails rather than mountainous terrain. The event includes a post-race party.
The course layout is loop based. The 9-mile option follows one full loop; the 18-mile distance is two laps of that loop; the 4-mile route splits the main loop roughly in half and goes out to the Salt Creek section.
Distances:
- 18 Mile
- 9 Mile
- 4 Mile
The organizer offers gender options at registration including Male, Female, and Non-Binary, and allows entrants to provide preferred pronouns. Every participant receives a custom finisher award; the top three male and top three female finishers at each distance receive additional podium awards. At this time there are no additional podium awards in the non-binary category.
Youth pricing is available for runners 19 and under with lower entry fees for the 4M and 9M distances and a limited number of free youth entries by request. A fund is available to waive registration fees for eligible applicants. Participants who become pregnant after registering or who have a recent newborn may defer entry for up to two years under the event deferral policy. A full set of race rules and cancellation policies is provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
