About
Join us for an exciting and scenic summer adventure across the parks! Each week we’ll explore one of Carmel’s beautiful parks, one trail at a time. Whether you're a runner or walker looking for a new fitness challenge, or you simply enjoy a good stroll through the park, this is your chance to discover new spots and support your local parks—all at your own pace!
Here’s how it works:
- One Park, One Trail, Every Week: Each week we’ll feature a different Carmel Park, complete with a unique trail to run or walk. From Central Park to the Monon Greenway, there’s a perfect adventure waiting for you.
- Track Your Progress: Complete the weekly trail and log your results using your fitness tracker or manually entering your date, time, and distance. Whether you’re racing against the clock or enjoying a leisurely walk, every step counts!
