The Run for Your Life Race at Robinson Lake starts at 6:00 PM, so plan your arrival accordingly if you're traveling from out of town. Held in Hobart, Indiana, the event offers a 1-mile option and a 5K, both on trail terrain at Robinson Lake (5240 S Liverpool Rd). Entry fees range from $15 to $25. The October 24 date means darkness will fall during or shortly after the race, so bring a headlamp or reflective gear. If you're staying overnight, book accommodations with easy access to the venue to avoid pre-race stress on an evening start. The trail setting provides a different training stimulus than road racing, making this a good mid-autumn opportunity for runners and trail runners building fitness into winter.
