From the Organizer
The Courthouse Classic is an annual road race for everyone. Anyone from the novice to the elite is invited and walkers are welcome. Our race was started in the year 2000, and it takes place at the county courthouse in LaGrange, Indiana. The 2026 race will be run on Saturday, June 20th. We have three races, a 1 mile fun run (for kids), a competitive 1 mile (open to walkers), and a USATF-certified 5K race. We have disposable chip timing for all races. All proceeds go to benefit the Lakeland Cross Country Teams. Everyone who pre-registers by June 13th will be guaranteed a T-shirt, an excellent goodie bag, and they are eligible for door prizes. After that date, all other registrants will receive these items while supplies last. After your race, we will have drinks, fresh fruit, snacks, and sample subs from the LaGrange Subway. When all the races are over we will hand out the awards. If you have any questions email us at courthouseclassic@gmail.com. Race prices increase after 5/3/26, and 6/13/26. Online registration ends on June 19, 2026, at 6 pm but we will have day of race registration.
