1 Miles 5k Fun Run Run

You wont want to miss the 8th annual Brat Trot 5k through Terre Haute's historical brewing district hosted by Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church!

The Brat Trot has 2 awesome 5k races (the beer challenge 5k and regular 5k) and a 1 mile fun run for you to choose from!

The main event is the Beer Challenge where participants will run our 1 mile loop course through the brewing district. At each lap you must consume a 4 ounce shot glass of beer and have the race volunteer place a check mark on your bib# before continuing on to your next lap. After 3 laps you will then cross the finish line and should have consumed a total of 12 ounces / 1 beer! All beer will be provided by Afterburner Brewing Company!

Parking will be located at the Vigo County Library's Parking lot. Please park in the back of the parking lot, so you do not interfere with those attending the Library. 1 Library Square, Terre Haute, IN 47807

Beer Challenge Rules

  • You must be 21+ to participate. (IDs will be checked and participants in this race will receive a different bib# / non-removable bracelet)

  • NO ID; NO RACE

  • If you do not wear your bib# and/or do not have your 21+ identifying bracelet, you also will not be allowed to participate

  • You can only consume 1 drink per lap

We also will have a non-beer Brat Trot 5k with all of the fun, but none of the course beer. This event is open to all ages. You will still complete 3 laps of our 1 mile course for your 5k. We will also have post-race awards for this event.

    Established in 2006, the Hawthorn Half Day Relay & Ultra is a one-of-a-kind endurance event welcoming runners and walkers of all levels. In 2026, we’re proud to celebrate our 20th anniversary—and we’d love for you to be part of it!

    Choose between a 6-hour or 12-hour race, both starting at 7:00 a.m. Participants compete on a scenic 5K loop of trail and road. To ensure every lap counts, a ½-mile short course will be available during the final 30 minutes of the race.

    Race Categories

    • 6-Hour: Solo or Teams of 3

    • 12-Hour: Solo, Teams of 2, or Teams of 3–6

    Whether you’re running solo, walking laps, or relaying with friends, there’s a category for you.

    The Course & Runners Village

    Every loop brings you through Runners Village, where you’ll have a designated space for your tent, crew, and gear. You’ll also pass Race Headquarters, fully stocked with cold drinks, snacks, and essentials to keep you fueled all day.

    Campgrounds along the course will be open for optional camping and include restrooms and water stations. This setup makes Hawthorn Half Day especially family- and crew-friendly—plenty of chances to cheer runners on lap after lap!

    What Can You Do in Half a Day?

    At Hawthorn Half Day, there is no set distance, only time, movement, and community. Take one lap or many. Set a goal or let the day unfold.

    This race is about showing up, sharing miles, and finding your rhythm together.

    Go solo or team up. Run, walk, or shuffle your way through as many miles as you can. Relay teams can split the distance however they choose, making this a great option for first-timers and seasoned ultrarunners alike.

    What’s Waiting for You

    • Live online tracking

    • Professional race photography

    • Runners Village with nearby playground, shelter, and restrooms

    • Optional park camping for a full weekend experience (reserve early—it sells out!)

    • Post-race party with awards and special giveaways

    • Overall awards and finisher medals

    • And of course… our signature baked potato bar and pie

    Leave the chores and screens behind. Connect with your crew, soak up the outdoors, make new friends, and celebrate 20 years of Hawthorn Half Day.

    Join us. Run your race. Be part of the Half Day family.
