Dana Pittard, a senior executive at Allison Transmission, enjoys spending his free time competing in triathlons. As a resident of the greater Indianapolis metropolitan area, Dana Pittard has myriad options when choosing where to train for the running and biking portions of these events.
According to experts at Indianapolis Monthly and VisitIndy.com, Indianapolis’ best running and biking destinations include:
Eagle Creek Park
Diverse routes abound at Eagle Creek Park, the country’s sixth-largest municipal park. Runners can choose from hiking trails ranging from 2.5 to nearly seven miles, while bikers can pedal down multiple paved loops.
Canal Walk
Although located in the center of downtown Indianapolis, this 1.5-mile path provides a quiet, peaceful place to exercise along the Central Canal. Individuals looking to extend their workouts can connect from the Canal Walk to the three-mile White River Trail.
Fort Harrison State Park
Nicknamed Fort Ben, this former military base is home to short trails visitors can easily string together. Recommended routes include Schoen Creek Trail, a mountain-biking/trail-running path that stretches across three miles of steep, sinuous terrain.
