Flap Jacks 5k
|
The Flapjacks 5K is a community event to raise money to support westside trails. Funds raised helps to support the work of the B&O Trail Association and the White Lick Creek and Vandalia Trail Alliance. Each year, we have had a great partnership with our breakfast spot in town "Flap-Jacks Restaurant". For the 6th year we are joining forces in creating a 5k experience that is rooted in fitness, fun, and most of all celebrating our community on the west side of Indianapolis. Amid these challenging times, we have a creative response and are very excited to be able to offer an amazing “COVID 19 adjusted” alternative to the original event that is safest for our community. The 6th Annual Flapjacks 5K will be back as a live in-person event!
|
The cost is only $29 until May 21st – early bird rate.
