What's the Summer Fun Run Series?
Each week during the summer months, one park in Hendricks County hosts a course where people can run, walk, bicycle or even roller skate the marked path. Participate on any day at a time that works best for you. This year's event kicks off May 28 at Hummel Park. All the Summer Fun Run sponsors as well as The Wondering Bee will be at the kickoff event!
The series will take you on an outdoor adventure through a dozen parks throughout the county, providing a variety of scenery and terrain, and plenty of opportunities to explore at your own pace. I love the flexibility!
What's the Cost & How Are Funds Used?
The Summer Fun Run 2025 registration fee is $35 for an individual and $100 for a family of four providing you with marked courses in the parks, email updates and an official Summer Run Fun T-Shirt. You can add additional family members when you register.
The Parks Foundation uses funds to award grants to our parks in Hendricks County.
What's The Parks Foundation of Hendricks County?
The Parks Foundation of Hendricks County is a not-for-profit organization that raises money for parks departments in Hendricks County. Their mission is to cultivate thriving outdoor experiences.
If you've been to one of our great parks, you more than likely benefited from the Parks Foundation without even realizing it. Last year Pecar Park in Avon received a grant to create The Glow Lab, where visitors can explore bioluminescence animals and plants at our Pecar Park Nature Center!
