Parks Foundation of Hendricks County: Summer Fun Run & Walk Series

The Summer Fun Run Series takes us to Williams Park in Brownsburg, Indiana.  The fun run route is a 1.818 mile loop begins and ends near the splash pad.  Start on the paved loop in a counter-clockwise direction around the large greenspace part of the park.  As you reach the northwest corner of the path, proceed into the woods on the gravel path. Turn right to complete the north lollipop first, then continue all the way to the south end to complete the south lollipop.  You will then return to the woods entrance turning right onto the paved path to reach the finish where you first began.  Follow the red and blue SFR signs with directional arrows to guide you along the route in addition to the map on this page.
