By IndyRunners.org - Fort Benjamin Harrison, formerly a military installation since 1903, is now a State Park and Nature Preserve. The park is located on the northeast area of Indianapolis and is most easily accessed from 465, and going east at 56th street. The park entrance is at the intersection of Post and 59th Street where you should be able to pick up a map of the roads and trails. Note that there are restricted areas, but still plenty of nice running. The Loop around the Duck Pond is paved and has some good hills. The Fall Creek Trail is scenic and has a couple of very steep hills. The Lawrence Creek Trail is a bit more friendly with its wide path and moderate terrain.

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.
