Designed for walkers, joggers, runners, families, and first-timers alike, the Parks & Petals 5K is all about enjoying the journey. Participants are encouraged to take their time, appreciate the scenery, and experience the course at a comfortable pace. This course includes a beautiful route, fresh air, and the perfect excuse to stop and smell the peonies. The event takes place the same weekend as the Indiana Peony Festival, making it the perfect opportunity to enjoy the blooming peonies throughout the area and take part in the many festivities happening around town.
