Race will be held as part of the inaugural Indiana Urban Wilderness Run

April 15, 2015 - Indianapolis, IN - The Collegiate Running Association is proud to announce their first National Championship event in Trail Running, set for Saturday, June 13, 2015, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Quarter Marathon (10.55K) Championships will be held as part of the inaugural Indiana Urban Wilderness Run, and will be open to both the general public and college students. The race will award a $6,000 prize purse to the top five male and female college students.

“We are thrilled to announce our first Trail Running Championship”, said Collegiate Running Association Co-Founder Jon Molz. “One of the goals of the CRA is to create opportunities for college students that do not currently exist. We are ardent supporters of Trail Running, as is evident by our recent partnership with the American Trail Running Association, and prior to this race there really have not been any opportunities for college students to race the trails in a collegiate championship setting.”

The Indiana Urban Wilderness Run will take place in downtown Indianapolis alongside the White River on a mixture of single track dirt trails, grass, and limestone path. The course will utilize urban park space that is being developed as part of an initiative to get more residents out and about in a natural setting.
