Course distance is 4.5 miles through scenic Broad Ripple neighborhood areas. Both run and walk start together at 9:00 AM. Course is fairly flat with a water station located towards the mid point (only water will be available at this station - sorry no cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie will be available at this station) The 4.5 Mile Course is timed with IPICO Timing Tags.
NOTE- If you don't want to do the full distance - you can take the short cut course of 2.3 miles - just turn on Compton Street as you are coming down Kessler. - We will have a display clock only at this finish (no results are kept for this short distance course).
You can use your 4.5 mile finish time for MINI-MARATHON seeding - see chart
