The Melt the Trail 5K presented by Riverview Health returns to in-person racing this year at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26. The event features a new route over the State Road 32 Monon Trail pedestrian bridge in Westfield which will provide a new challenge for runners and walkers.
“This Westfield winter tradition originally began as a way to showcase our trail systems being a year-round amenity for residents and visitors,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “It has grown to attract hundreds of runners from all over Indiana who are willing to brave the cold.”
Westfield Welcome is partnering with Grand Junction Brewing Company again this year to host the race festivities. After the race, participants can redeem their drink ticket, purchase food from the BBQ Yard at Grand Junction Brewing, and enjoy music and arcade games. The taproom is kid and dog friendly allowing the entire family to join.
Prizes will be awarded to the first and second female and male finishers in each age group. There will also be a grand prize for the overall female and male finisher.
The cost to register will vary by date, and TODAY is the deadline to register to guarantee receiving a commemorative Melt the Trail. To sign up, visit meltthetrail.com.
