Deam Lake Winter Warrior

Deam Lake Winter Warrior takes place at Borden, Indiana, on November 8, 2026, with three formats all starting together at 9:00 a.m.: a four-hour endurance run, a 6-mile race and a 12-miler. The timed option is measured in hours rather than miles, so you cover as much ground as you can manage before the clock runs out, while the two fixed distances give you a defined finish line instead.

Having all three go off at once means you can decide how ambitious to be based on how the day is actually going, at least between the shorter options. Six miles is within reach of anyone running regularly; twelve asks for a long run already up around 10 miles; the four-hour event is an endurance exercise in patience, fueling and pacing more than in speed. Whichever you choose, start slower than feels natural and eat before you think you need to.
