Bridgeton, Indiana, May 28-29
Straight from the event website:
“Having recently completed a marathon in each of the 50 states it became apparent that far too many runs were severly lacking in scenery. We decided to host a run that avoided the local shopping mall, the local fast food franchises, and the busy highways of urban America. Parke County, Indiana was one of the ideas we came up with. Driving the course (and later riding a bicycle to certify the course as a Boston qualifer) further cemented that this was the run we wanted to host. It is the most unique and scenic course that you will find anywhere that doesn’t involve mountains. Come and join us for a look back at a simplier time and place. A place that’s right in your back yard.”
Next to the historic Bridgeton Mill, the race director has promised to jump off the [uncovered] bridge at the conclusion of the marathon on Sunday, then as he emphasizes, “The beer will begin to flow!”
There is still time to register. Saturday, May 28th there are shorter runs, Sunday, the longer ones.

It would be a nice run through Parke County.
