Twisted Run

You won't want to miss this twist on a typical race. It will be fun and challenging for everyone. Run it. Jog it. Walk it. Do it individually, with friends or as a family group - be as competitive as you like!

What is the twist?

There will be checkpoints to visit on this course. The location of the checkpoints will be identified on a map given to you at the start. But the route between the checkpoints is unmarked. It is up to you to determine the fastest route between the checkpoints. The fastest route may not be the shortest. As a result, the distance depends on the route choices you make, so the expected winning distance will be about 8.0K (or about 4.0K for the shorter course).

The course will be on paved paths, paved trails, roads, sidewalks, grass fields, and, if you think it is the fastest route, then maybe through some woods.

This is a fundraiser for the U20 orienteers involved in the Junior National Program. There are 40 juniors in the program in the US and 2 of those are in Indiana.

$25 for adults; $15 for those 13-18 years old; $5 for those 7-12 years old; and free for those 0-6 years old

Net proceeds will help the juniors fund travel to training camps, attend the junior team trials, and cover expenses associated with the Junior World Orienteering Championships in Romania in July 2023. Here is an advertisement for the event. (It was created before covid so the new date is due to the delay.)

10:00 am - Registration packet pick-up begins
10:40 pm - Pre-race informational meeting for all participants
11:00 pm - Mass start

Everyone will get to keep the map they used for the race. Each year the course will be different from all previous Twisted Runs.
