UPDATE: Response to the Fun Run has been amazing! We’re sorry, we are all out of t-shirts!

This fall marks the 200th anniversary of the Great Squirrel Stampede of 1822! Hamilton County Tourism will be celebrating the historic invasion…and The Carmel Clay Historical Society is joining the fun with a nutty race for all ages. Proceeds will help fund the new Carmel Clay History Museum, scheduled to break ground near Midtown this year.

Grab your friends & family and enjoy a beautiful morning walking or running the paths at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, IN. Strollers and (friendly) furry friends are welcome for this low key 1K/3K!
