Event Mission

The purpose of the Crazy Legs Race Series (CLRS) is to promote non-pavement/pavement races in the Northwest Indiana region through the development and management of new and existing races. At all our events, you will experience fun and challenging course designs in a low-key atmosphere. Races will be held in parks or areas in the Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties.
