What is the B&O Express 5K/10K Run & Walk?

Get on board for the First Annual B&O Express 5K/10K Run & Walk! Proceeds go to the B&O Trail Association, a not-for-profit organization working to develop a recreational trail on the abandoned B&O Railroad in Hendricks County and beyond.

Clarian West Medical Center is proud to partner with the B&O Trail Association to present this marquee community event, which includes a FREE Family Health Fair.

When:
Saturday, September 12

Where:
Clarian West Medical Center
1111 North Ronald Reagan Parkway, Avon

Route:
The Start/Finish line will be on Clarian West's north drive, off of Ronald Reagan Parkway. Participants will head north on Ronald Reagan Parkway, crossing over the future B&O Trail beneath the Parkway, whereupon 5K participants will return to Clarian West. Those participating in the 10K will continue past O'Reilly Raceway Park, making their way to the newly constructed B&O Trail segment off of Raceway Road and through the Wynbrooke neighborhood before returning to Clarian West.

The 5K course is flat, making it perfect for novice runners/walkers, and for experienced runners/walkers looking for a personal best time. The 10K route includes some inclines - a more challenging course for seasoned runners/walkers.
