Registration is underway for one of Indianapolis’ most unique challenges: the Iron Eagle Paddle & Run. The ninth edition of this popular event is set for 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 23 at Eagle Creek Park.
The Iron Eagle is a fundraiser for the Eagle Creek Park Foundation. Registration is $60 prior to July 5, $70 by July 22, and $80 on the day of the event. Foundation members receive a $10 discount.
Iron Eagle participants run 2.5 miles on a wooded trail from the Eagle Creek beach to the park’s marina, paddle a canoe or kayak over a 1.5-mile loop on Eagle Creek Reservoir, then hit the trails again for a run back to the beach. Individuals as well as relay teams can compete.
Every Iron Eagle participant will receive a carved wooden finisher’s medal, an event T-shirt commemorating the park’s 50th anniversary in 2022, and an invitation to the Quaff ON! Brewing Company post-race party at the Earth Discovery Center.
