All
runners must check in with a (human) timer before beginning their race.
Start times for some races are recorded manually and not with the chip
timing.
Registration for the Indian Run begins at 7:30 a.m. race day (6:30 a.m. for 60k race only).
All races meet and finish at the Hocking Hills State Park Dining Lodge, 20160 S.R. 664 S in Hocking County.
Showers and refreshments will be available for runners after their races.
Pets are welcome to run the course with you (on a leash of course!).
Walkers are also welcome at the Indian Run.
Chip Timing!
Chip timing provides Indian Run racers with accurate and timely race
results. Indian Run is proud to continue our partnership with
Premier
Sports of Columbus, and all races utilize chip timing again in 2011.
Premier Sports will determine all winners. All awards will be mailed.
