Glacial Esker 40

Per race website: “We’ve made the decision to not move forward with the 2021 Glacial Esker 40 (GE40)…. New 2022 IT100 RD, Nick Brandt, has advised that he’ll review the status of the GE 40 next year and decide whether or not he’ll proceed with a 2022 race. Up for consideration will potentially include shifting the GE40 race date to another time of year or changing the format, if it moves forward at all.

An IGNITE Trail Series event (which includes the Indiana Trail 100), the Glacial Esker 40 will be held at Chain O’ Lakes State Park. The course is a 20 mile mixture of wide and narrow trails – from rolling hills, dirt, and off-camber grass sections. There will be very little road running on the course. The terrain and woods provides protection from the wind. Most of the trails surround the lakes.

Both races start and finish at Sand Lake Beach. The start time for both races will be at 6:00 AM.

The Glacial Esker 40 is a non-profit event managed by ultra-runners with the net proceeds going back to the park. We are convinced that once you run on our scenic course you will keep coming back. We will help you achieve your goal, whether it’s your first 40 miler or setting your personal record time for the distance.
