Welcome to Northwest Indiana's own marathon. We have a new and improved scenic course made especially for our fifth year anniversary. We start in downtown Lowell and run through the flat country roads to the Kankakee River Grand Marsh Nature Park. This course is an out and back course to make your return trip faster. Lowell, Indiana is about one hour southeast of Chicago, IL. So come out and enjoy the beautiful scenery and great hospitality of Northwest Indiana.
