About the Event
We are in the middle of the City’s Bicentennial Year. The Covid epidemic and stay at home orders have somewhat subdued the City’s celebration. But it has also highlighted the important role that greenways play in times like these. More and more people are using Indy Greenways during this socially-distanced time. This all presents an opportunity to get out and explore all of Indianapolis’ greenways. The Indy Greenways Bicentennial Challenge encourages residents to get out and visit all nine of the current Indy Greenways to commemorate all of the great trails that have been developed during Indy’s 200 year history. Here’s how it works:
