Lead the Way 5miler for Leadership Harrison County — May 4, 2024

Start Derby Day with forty furlongs of your own! This timed footrace begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Boys & Girls Club at 134 Jenkins Ct. NE in Corydon, IN. The course is an accurate five-mile route on Indian Creek Trail, crossing a historic truss bridge while following Indian Creek through Hayswood Nature Reserve and the town of Corydon. The course is “lollipop” style, with a two-mile out-and-back section plus a one-mile loop, including half a mile of gravel trail. The course is primarily flat with three moderate hills and two water stops. Participants are welcome to turn around early if they choose, with the understanding this will remove them from the competition portion of the event.

Don’t forget to call or text us at 502-653-9157.
