Indian Trail 5K Run, Kids Mile, & Non-Competitive 5K Walk 2026

The Indian Trail 5K Run, Kids Mile, and Non-Competitive 5K Walk takes place at Mississinewa High School in Gas City, Indiana. The Kids Mile begins at 9:30 a.m. for participants aged 3 to 10, with the 5K run and walk starting at 10:00 a.m. The event utilizes the school’s cross country course and supports the Mississinewa Cross Country program, which covers the high school team, middle school team, and the Indians Elementary running club. The 5K course circles the athletic fields and includes several loops through the woods, providing a cross country character rather than a typical road 5K. Organizers characterize it as quick yet demanding. Awards are presented after the races, recognizing the top boy and girl in the Kids Mile, the overall male and female 5K runners, and the top three male and female finishers in each 5K age group. Reductions are available for military personnel, first responders, educators, Mississinewa cross country alumni, and current middle school or high school cross country or track athletes.
