Two loops through Chain O'Lakes on a well-stocked, welcoming course
The 50 Mile at the Indiana Trail 100 covers two full loops of the 25-mile Chain O'Lakes course, offering a well-organized and supported entry into the ultra distance on approachable Midwestern trail. With six aid stations per loop, generous crew access, and a flat-to-rolling profile through lake and forest terrain, this is a strong choice for runners building toward the 100-mile distance — or those who simply want a high-quality 50-miler in a great setting.
