Hawthorne 4-Hour Run
About the race
NEW event for 2027. The race is held at Hawthorne Park, 500 Ackerman Drive, Porter, Indiana 46304.
The Crazy Legs Race Series (CLRS) promotes non-pavement and pavement races in the Northwest Indiana region through the development and management of new and existing races. Races are held in parks or areas in Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties, with fun and challenging course design in a low-key atmosphere.
The Crazy Legs Race Series welcomes and encourages participation by all individuals regardless of sexual orientation, biological sex, gender identity, or gender expression. Transgender runners may register as the gender they identify with, and no documentation is needed.
The Crazy Legs Race Series acknowledges that the land on which it hosts races is the seized territory of the Miami, Shawnee, and Illinois Nations. Refugees from other nations also resided in the area, including the Lenape (Delaware). CLRS honors those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
