Run the Monon (hosted by Indy Runners and Walkers)

**Experience the Monon Trail with Indy Runners and Walkers** Discover the Monon Trail's vibrant northern stretch with the Indy Runners and Walkers. This cherished event offers an enchanting journey from Sheridan to Broad Ripple. Starting from Park Tudor High School, you'll be transported to your starting point in either Sheridan for a 20-mile adventure or 146th/Carmel for an 11-mile journey, before making your way back to Marrott Park in Broad Ripple.

Choose between two scenic routes: a challenging 20-mile or a more relaxed 11-mile distance. Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow participants in a non-competitive, untimed setting and revel in a safe, traffic-free experience. Conclude your invigorating run or walk with a delightful picnic lunch.
