Gibbs Park 5/29 - 6/4
The Summer Fun Run Series takes us to W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park in Danville, Indiana. The fun run route is a 2.06 mile route. The start and finish is in W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park on the north side of the pond. Look for the big red life preserver station to guide you to the parking lot closest to the start/finish. From the start, go counter-clockwise around the pond on Turtle Crawl. At the end of Turtle Crawl, turn right onto Monarch Way and continue to follow the remaining SFR route in a counter clockwise loop around the perimeter of the park on the park's pathways. Follow the SFR signs with directional arrows to guide you along the route in addition to the maps on this page.

Workout of the Week: “Big Gains @Gibbs Park!”

“Big Gains” @Gibbs Park
This park boasts another one of the staple sledding hills in Hendricks County, so of course it is time for another hill workout! After the warmup try to end up around the base of the sledding hill. You can choose to do these repeats on any section of the grass hill. Please note-never stop jogging up the hill or during recovery. Be sure to pump those arms and drive those knees-hill running done right builds strength and can drastically improve form!
