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!

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.
