Chase the Shadow Free Fun Run

Chase the Shadow is a free, untimed fun run/walk/roll that is open to participants of all fitness levels. 

How does is work?

The rules are pretty simple. Just finish the 5k route before The Shadow.

Participants will follow a bicycle lead on a route that follows the Fort Wayne Trails network.

The route will be clearly and marked, but we won’t have police presence so be sure to follow traffic laws at road crossings!

Fun trophies go to the first place male and female finishers and first place place boy and girl (under 13) finishers.

The Shadow launches at 12:00pm.
We launch at 12:05PM
Awards begin at 1PM.

So put on you best ninja suit, cool tuxedo T-shirt, or simply a black T-shirt.

Chase the Shadow is the only time that we encourage walkers and runners to dress in black.

Chase the Shadow is an untimed fun run.

We will have a race clock on site if you want to see your time.
