This fall marks the 202nd anniversary of the Great Squirrel Stampede of 1822, and the Carmel Clay Historical Society has organized a nutty race for all ages. Proceeds will help fund the new Carmel Clay History Museum, which is set to open in November.
This laid-back 1K/3K family fun run and dog trot is set for 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 21.
Grab your friends and family and enjoy a beautiful morning walking or run the paths at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel. Strollers and furry friends are welcome for this lowkey 1K/3K.
The event has lots of fun features, including:
- Squirrel Stampede T-shirt and bandanas for the pups
- Kids activities, craft, and games
- Bounce houses
- Java House coffee, Kona Ice, and other free treats
- Children’s Golden Acorn hunt with prizes
- Photo opportunity area
- Stations along the route with fun Squirrel Stampede history
