Blackburn Run 4 Others

Lace up for a rewarding challenge at the Blackburn Run 4 Others, returning for its 17th annual event on June 20, 2026, in scenic Winona Lake, Indiana. This impactful race offers a 10K distance, alongside a 5K run/walk, drawing participants to a course known for its engaging variety and beautiful surroundings. The 10K is particularly noted as a challenging course, featuring a dynamic mix of paved greenway sections, often tree-lined, and invigorating cross-country terrain, complete with demanding hills. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 80°F and lows around 61°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, offering a classic summer running experience.

More than just a race, the Blackburn Run 4 Others is a powerful charity event, with all proceeds dedicated to Water for Good. This non-profit organization works tirelessly to combat the water crisis, primarily in the Central African Republic, by providing access to clean water through well drilling and maintenance. The event proudly carries on the legacy of its founder, Jeremy Blackburn, in whose memory the race is named.

Both the 10K and 5K races commence at the Trailhouse Bike Shop, nestled within the charming Village at Winona. This community-focused event promises an inspiring atmosphere, where runners can push their limits on a diverse course while directly contributing to a vital global cause.
