Run The Mounds : Mounds State Park trail races
Run The Mounds takes place at Mounds State Park in Anderson, IN and includes multiple footrace options on the park trail system. The event offers running and walking distances and a children's fun run that meets by the pool house.
The courses start on grass and use trails that are approximately 92% trail and 8% blacktop. Trails contain ruts, rocks, stumps, roots, leaves and other natural debris. Under some conditions participants may encounter mud, water hazards, and slippery or icy sections.

Race logistics include chip timing on race bibs; participants are asked to wear bibs on the front for scoring. Packet pickup for bibs and apparel is handled at the pavilion on race day and closes before the races. Parking is limited and restricted to designated lots and areas only; no parking on roads or grass unless directed by a park ranger. Restrooms are available near the Woodland Shelter, at the Nature Center, at the Pavilion, and as pit toilets near the Camp Store.
There are two water stops on course at the 1.5 mile and 3.0 mile marks; volunteers dispense water into cups and used cups are collected. The finish area is in the field opposite the Woodland Shelter and will have timing, finish medals, refreshments and displayed results. Compiled results are posted later on the organizer website.
All finishers receive a finisher medal. Top overall male and female finishers in each race receive special overall awards; there are no separate age group awards. Post race refreshments are provided at the main pavilion. Race apparel can be ordered during pre registration and is guaranteed if ordered by October 11. Pre registration ends on October 28 or when events sell out; there is no day of registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
