Haunted Hilly Half Marathon, Terrible 10K, Frightening 5K, Monster Mile

This is a super fun race in the Fall in a gorgeous park setting. Four distances to choose from, so the entire family can participate. The name is no joke, we did find some hills to run in northern Indiana :).

All races begin and end at Bonneyville Mill County Park, Bristol IN. [Exit 101 off the tollroad]

Boo Ha Ha! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!! Some people try to blend in by wearing costumes!

This is the major fundraiser for the Elkhart County Down Syndrome Support Group to provide programming, tutors, therapeutic riding and more for about 50 families with special needs kids in our immediate area. Please come out and support this group! And have a blast doing it!

If you like running paved country roads and enjoy rollers, this race is for you. Held at a charming county park in Bristol, Indiana, the courses are lined with old growth trees, horse farms and open space.

We also modified the course in 2019 to eliminate some of the traffic crossing in Middlebury, and we love this new course.

All courses start and end at Bonneyville Mill in Bristol, IN. Where is Bristol? In Northern Indiana, this park is just about 5 miles from the 80 Tollroad exit 101.

Monster Mile course will be staffed by the Boy Scouts , This is a lovely path through the woods on a trail that passes by one of the most photographed creek areas in the area! The charming park is often the site for wedding and high school photos.

The 5K course (3.1 miles) is an out and back PAVED course from Bonneyville Mill up a grade to LoveWay riding stables and then back. Runners are always happy to see that turnaround point for the downhill grade to the finish line! Follow GREEN signs and turnaround just past the LoveWay riding stables. Out and back.

The 10K course (6.2 Miles) gives you a plenty of hills for for the buck. Not your Nanna's 10K. Paved course, entirely on roads. Follow PINK arrows. Starts together with 5K, but they turn back sooner. :) Keep going up a few more hills :) and THEN you get to turn around and come back. Out and back course.

Half Marathoners- You've basically got a 3 mile warm up into the rollers. Then a nice downhill grade over to Middlebury where you can hammer out some quick splits. We go behind Northridge High School, and then on to the Pumpkinvine Trail for about a half mile.

REMINDER: You will go LEFT on Shoemaker (we are NOT running the S-Curves in Middlebury) and head up and LEFT into the subdivision and slight up and then a long downhill down Crystal Valley. [This way, we have eliminated the Wayne Street crossings.]

There is about a mile against traffic. Save some for mile 10 :) when the grit sets in. Then a good downhill after mile 12 to bring it on home! When you finish this one, you will feel like you got a good workout! This course is on paved, country roads. This is not a trail run. Follow YELLOW arrows. Plan to complete the half marathon by noon. This is a loop course.
