The 4th Annual YMCA Run For The Hills kicks off at 8:00 AM on October 10, 2026, in Crown Point, Indiana, so plan your arrival accordingly if you're traveling in the night before. The race takes place at the YMCA facility located at 3838 W. 141st Avenue and offers both a 5K and a 2K option, making it accessible whether you're doing a full training effort or bringing a younger family member. Entry fees range from $20 to $35 depending on registration timing and category. This is a locally organized community event, so expect a straightforward race experience focused on participation and fitness rather than a large-scale spectacle.
