Frequently Asked Questions...
(you should have plenty)
| What is this all about? The Indian-Celina Challenge is a Half (13.1 miles) and Full Marathon (26.2 miles) race that takes place on unforgiving trails in Southern Indiana. While there are other trail races in our area during the year, we challenge you to find another race in a 150 mile radius that has the elevation gain experienced here. If you are up for a challenge, then come and experience the beautiful scenery and harsh hills that we offer.
When will it take place? The race will be on Saturday, June 14th - 2008 at 6:30 am. While many would expect the weather to be treacherous this time of year, the average low is 63° (race time) and the high is 83° (around 2:30). Also realize that 95% of the race course is shaded from the forest.
What is the course like and how is it setup? To find out more information on the course (logistics, elevation charts, course maps, etc.) please click here.
Since the race starts so early, where can I stay the night before? There are 3 towns within 25 minutes that have places to stay the night before. Tell City is 15 minutes to the south, Ferdinand is 15 minutes to the west, and Corydon is 25 minutes to the east. People coming from the north (Indianapolis) can find lodging in French Lick which is about 45 minutes to the north. Depending on which direction you are coming from, any of these towns will suffice. We apologize for not having lodging that is closer - but then again, this takes place in the Hoosier National Forest.
There are also campsites available at the Lakes. For more information about all of these options, please click here.
When is the registration window? Registration for this race can occur between January 10th and June 6th. After June 6th, there will be no registration.
As a special notice ::: Registration will be limited to the first 125 runners (Half/Full combined). This is the first year for this race, and while we would love to have more, we do not want to sacrifice putting on a quality race for those who participate.
Who should compete in this race? Anybody who is physically ready for this challenge and ready to push themselves to the limit. As stated, this is a tough race. The race will be on trails littered with small rocks, leaves, and roots. Only runners who have experience running on true trails should consider competing.
What should we expect race day? Expect to be WOW'd by the beauty of this forest. Expect to go through pain. Expect to have a feeling of accomplishment that you normally do not get from racing. There is no doubt that you will be pushed, but you will also feel great knowing that you have just completed the toughest Half or Full Marathon in the State of Indiana (and maybe even the Midwest).
