About the ARC Fitness 5k Walk / Run
The course starts at a gym on the east side of Indianapolis, rolls through Garfield Park, and comes back to where you started. The park gives it a natural feel without any serious climbing. Profits from the day go directly to a neighborhood school, and a local small business and maker market runs in the parking lot while runners are out on the course.
A run club leading up to race day is designed to bring new runners along, so the field tends to include people doing their first race alongside regulars who just like the atmosphere. Packet pickup and the start area are both at the gym, which keeps the morning simple.
