The B&O Trail Association will present its 3rd annual “Blaze the B&O” fun run and walk on at 9:00 a.m. September 28 at Cardinal Park, 3432 Hornaday Road in Brownsburg, Indiana. Presented by IU Health West, Big O Tires, Brownsburg Running Club and Brownsburg Parks, the event includes both a four-mile fun and a two-mile walk option held partly on the B&O Trail. The event will raise funds to further expand the B&O Trail in Marion and Hendricks Counties. Registered participants will receive commemorative t-shirts and finisher medals, with winners receiving awards. Registrations must be submitted no later than September 21 to guarantee a t-shirt.

With a mission of Blazing Trails, Connecting Communities, the B&O Trail Association (BOTA) is creating a recreational trail along the abandoned B&O Railroad corridor. The non-profit, all-volunteer organization was formed in 1993 and has already completed 8.25 miles of paved trail. BOTA partners with the Speedway Trails Association (STA), which has now completed three miles on the west side of Indianapolis, which run from Michigan Street to High School Rd. Beginning this fall, BOTA and STA will start construction on the segment connecting the trail from Raceway Rd. to High School Rd. in Indianapolis, resulting in 16 miles of continuous trail from downtown Indianapolis to the center of Hendricks County.
Anyone interested in assisting by volunteering please email contact@botrail.org for sign-up information.
