The First Day Trail Run and Walk will take place at Fairfax State Recreation Area on Monroe Lake on January 1, 2026. For details and registration, visit this link.
This is an untimed, non-competitive run/walk. Choose from a 3.7-mile, 2.9-mile, or 1.3-mile course – and don’t forget to tap the bell and ring in the new year as you cross the finish line!
The FIRST 300 to register in ADVANCE get the 100% embroidered, collectible, event patch!
Please be aware that all courses close at 5 p.m. and the food station will shut down shortly after that.
Dogs are not encouraged but are permitted. They must be on a leash of 6' or less at all times, and we ask that you begin the run/walk at the back of the group.
Questions? Contact the Paynetown Activity Center on Monroe Lake at 812-837-9967 or email Jill Vance at jvance@dnr.IN.gov.
All proceeds from this event support public events, programs, and interpretation at Monroe Lake!
