Event summary

Get ready for a refreshing start to spring at the inaugural Spring Cleaning 5K, happening on Saturday, March 30, 2024, in the vibrant city of Indianapolis, Marion! This exciting new event not only promotes health and fitness but also encourages participants to "spring clean" their closets for a great cause.

Join in the festivities with live music from DJ Jazzy Jett, and don't miss out on the post-race celebration starting at 2:30 PM, where age group awards and prizes will be presented. Plus, enjoy some refreshments, including wine or beer for those 21 and over, and root beer for everyone else!
