**All Permits have been Approved...WooHoo! **
Well, one of our local beloved trail races of over 20 plus years has been laid to rest but it's time to pick up the torch and replace it with another. All the same distances, on the same trails, and in our beloved Morgan Monroe State Forest.
Behold......Run With The Squirrels (RWTS) ....Sunday April 26, 2026
(This is in no way sanctioned, presented, hosted, or affiliated, in any way with Hoosier Hikers Council)
Distances of 5k, 10k, 10 mile and half marathon.
It will be very similar in the fact it is low cost and low frills. No finisher medals, just the satisfaction that you did something amazing out in mother nature...WooHoo!
There will be basic aid stations for the 10k, 10 miler, and 13.1 mile events.
Race fee does not include a T shirt. This has been a request by numerous runners to decrease on waste.
If you would like to purchase one you have the option to make it an add-on for $15. You must add the shirt before APRIL 10th. There might be limited quantities on hand on race day.
These will be made by our local T-shirt guru BadKnees Tees.
Come join us and lets have some trail fun...WooHoo!

It's happening. A smaller and even more fun version of the OG MoMoFo but winterized. It's the FroMoMoFo (Frozen Morgan Monroe Forest) 20 miler and 10 mile run. You choose your wintery fun with either one loop or two loops of the incredibly scenic Three Lakes loop trail. The two aid stations will be welcoming you with fireplaces blazing and all the goodies you would expect for a trail event. This event will be held only during the daylight hours, so no extra planning/training needed.
Come join the forest winter wonderland and lets make this a trail party....WooHoo!
Free hugs!!
