Hit the scenic Wabash Trace Nature Trail in Shenandoah for the town’s annual half marathon, taking place in September. This is an event that keeps getting better each and every year.
Starting in Imogene and ending in Shenandoah, the half marathon takes you through some of the most picturesque Midwest countryside you’ll ever lay your eyes on. After leaving the historic Imogene depot, you’ll step onto the Wabash Trace and run past rolling green fields, lush woods, and even over babbling brooks.
The trail itself is a cornucopia of biomes, from the mesic woodlands found near Imogene to the prairie grasslands as you make your way to Shenandoah. You’ll pass eight picturesque towns on your route, making the event feel more like a friendly neighborhood run than a structured race.
