Trail Run Xtreme

Health is wealth. What started out as an invitation for Church members to join Pastor Mike in a 10k run, has turned into an annual community FAMILY FUN event focused on togetherness, health, education, food, and fun! Come join us as we walk/run to improve our health and get information, free giveaways, blood pressure checks and more from our vendors. Any profit will be used towards renovation for re-opening of the Northwest Indiana Friendship House.

Children of all ages are welcome! We have an entire staff to supervise and entertain your children with outdoor games, balloon expressions, and face painting during and after your walk/run at no cost to you. Please note, if your child (10+) wants to participate in the walk/run, there will be a small registration cost to cover those expenses.

A light breakfast and brunch can also be enjoyed at no cost.

JOIN THE FUN - BLESS YOUR PASTOR!

Join the Fun! We are blessing the PASTOR of the Church with the most people in attendance with a $150 gift card. Participation in Join the Fun is free; however, every adult and every child must register to let us know you are attending. If registering for the Race, please do not register for Join the Fun (you will still be counted). NOTE: your participation will not be counted if you are not in attendance.

The purpose Crazy Legs Race Series (CLRS) is to promote non-pavement/pavement races in the Northwest Indiana region through the development and management of new and existing races. At all our events you will experience fun and challenging course design in a low-key atmosphere. Races will be held in parks or areas in the Lake, Porter and Laporte counties.

The Crazy Legs Race Series welcomes and encourages participation in our events by all individuals regardless of their sexual orientation, biological sex, gender identity, or gender expression. Transgender runners may register as the gender they identify with and there is no documentation needed.

The Crazy Legs Race Series would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we host our races is the seized territory of the Miami, Shawnee, and Illinois Nations. Refugees from other nations also resided in the area we use, including the Lenape (Delaware). We honor those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
