A unique private venture called Doin'it Outdoors hosts the race. In addition to the trails, check out the kayaks, mountain bikes, and camping Doin'it Outdoors has to offer! Runners in the race will choose a 5k distance or a challenging 15k, single-loop race. The trails are mostly tight and twisting with a few leg burning climbs. Good views of the area's ravines and creek are a reward for the hard work. To get to Doin'it Outdoors, Follow US 27 about 10 miles south of Richmond, to Liberty, IN. Take Brownsville Rd West out of Liberty (look for Skagg's Oil). The road forks - stay right (watch for Byrd Tree Farm Signs). This is Patterson Rd. Follow it to the first left (Byrd Rd). Follow this road for 1.5 miles, and look for the entrance on the left side. Primitave camping is available at the race site. Hook up sites are available at Whitewater State Park - about 5 miles south. Start time is 9:00 am. Registration begins at 7:00. Note to Ohio runners: Indiana is currently with the Central Time zone.
