Run the Monon
Run the Monon is a non-competitive group long run and picnic organized by Indy Runners and Indy Walkers. This edition follows the Sheridan/Carmel to Broad Ripple route, with participants bused from the Broad Ripple parking area at Park Tudor School to start locations north of the city and returning to Marott Park in Broad Ripple for the finish and lunch.
Buses transport participants to two start points: Biddle Memorial Park in Sheridan for the 20-mile route and the Lowe's at 146th in Carmel for the 12-mile route. The event is untimed and there are no traffic restrictions. Boxed lunches are provided for participants; a lunch-only option is also available.
Practical details available on site include portable restrooms at Marott Park and public restrooms at Biddle Park and the Lowe's location. There may be a slight detour near 146th Street due to construction; participants should follow posted detour signs. Organizers also recruit volunteers to staff water stops along the route; volunteers receive lunch.
Fees vary by participant type and option, with separate pricing for club members, non-members, and the lunch-only option. The event emphasizes group support for long-distance training on the Monon corridor and a shared meal at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
