Event information
The Groundhog 7-miler/5-miler is hosted by Indy Runners on Sunday, February 1, 2026, in Zionsville, IN. The event uses Zionsville High School as the host location on Mulberry Street, ZIP 46077. The race includes these options:
- 5-mile (by donation)
- 7-mile (by donation)
- Virtual Groundhog (by donation)
The Zionsville Food Pantry is the event beneficiary. The organizer reported raising more than $4,000 for the food pantry in a previous year.
Course and logistics
The courses use the Rail Trail with an extension farther to the north. The 5-mile route is about 0.2 miles longer than advertised. Runners attempting the 7-mile option must maintain a maximum pace of 14:00 per mile; a course sentry at Mulberry Street (Mile 4.5) will divert participants who do not meet that pace to the 5-mile route back to the high school. The food pantry will accept monetary donations and may collect canned food items on site. Registration closes on February 1, 2026 at 11:59pm EST.
