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 time that works best for you. The series will take you on an outdoor adventure through a dozen parks throughout the county, providing a variety of scenery and terrain, as well as all sorts of opportunities to explore at your own pace. I love the flexibility!
What's the Cost & How Are Funds Used?
The Summer Fun Run 2024 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 while also funding grants that the Foundation can distribute throughout the year.. You can add additional family members when you register. Registration fees increase on May 2.
