Lead the Way 5 Miler 2024

Start Derby Day with forty furlongs of your own! This timed footrace begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Boys & Girls Club at 134 Jenkins Ct. NE in Corydon, IN. The course is an accurate five-mile route on Indian Creek Trail, crossing a historic truss bridge while following Indian Creek through Hayswood Nature Reserve and the town of Corydon. The course is “lollipop” style, with a two-mile out-and-back section plus a one-mile loop, including half a mile of gravel trail. The course is primarily flat with three moderate hills and two water stops. Participants are welcome to turn around early if they choose, with the understanding this will remove them from the competition portion of the event.

Awards – Top 3 female and male, with age group recognition. Walkers are welcome, though timing will end by 9:30am.

Fee – $20 for adults, $10 for ages 11 – 17. T-shirt optional if registered by April 14th. Children 10 and under may participate at no charge if accompanied by a responsible, paying participant.
