By IndyRunners.org - The zoo loop is another popular race route, but it is also a wonderful "Heart of the City" run. There are two routes, a 3.3 and a 5 miler. Start at the corner of Capitol and Washington, go west to the zoo, then north along the White River Parkway. For the 3.3 loop, turn right on New York and go past the I.U. Track stadium, and the Natatorium. For the 5 miler, turn right on 10th street, past Wishard Hospital and the Canal Overlook and then loop around Monument circle. If you can find it, take the limestone walkway behind the zoo.

When in Indianapolis check out the Indy Runners, a volunteer, not-for-profit club that serves to promote running and walking as a healthy lifestyle activity and as a competitive sport. The club serves to meet the member needs by creating opportunities for group runs/walks, social functions, volunteer leadership, organized races, fitness education and communication between members. Indy Runners is a member of the Road Runners Club of America and has been around since 1978.
