From the Organizer
Indiana Trail Running Association's training runs for DINO's Tecumseh Trail Challenge
Training Runs #1 & #2 are non-competitive group runs to introduce runners to Yellowwood State Forest and experience key portions of the Tecumseh Trail Challenge marathon and 50K courses. Each training run will be lightly marked, and runners will be encouraged to download the course GPX prior to starting. Course maps may be found via DINO's event website.
The terrain can be quite challenging and cell service is poor. For safety, checking in and out of the group run is mandatory.
