DINO and Indiana Trail Running are committed to providing another excellent experience in the 25th running of this fall classic trail run race! We have worked hard at keeping with the true to its name "Tecumseh Trail Challenge" redesigning the race around the railroad closure to provide a more nostalgic course we know runners will be excited about! Come run with us through the demanding, challenging, yet beautifully rewarding terrain during the autumn colors this fall as we create something special together!
