The Zionsville Optimist Club is proud to announce the 43rd annual Hit the Bricks 5K Run & Walk on Saturday, September 27! We’ve had 42 consecutive years with no rain, and are the longest continuing event in Boone County!
This year’s event features the usual 5K race/walk, utilizing elements of Zionsville’s Rail Trail and also looping through the historic downtown area, before returning to the start/finish at the Town Hall. Additionally we will have a 3K walk (Not timed) for those wanting a more leisurely stroll through beautiful Zionsville.
Established in 1981, the Zionsville Optimist Club is a local chapter of Optimist International (optimist.org). Our motto is “Friend of Youth”. Please help us fund important programs for youth in our community. The Zionsville Optimist Club is well known for their support of local youth and other local charities.
