The ZUMC Trail

A 3K grass path through the woods. Open to everyone.

Just past our building, a mowed grass path winds three kilometers through the woods. Walk it on your lunch break. Run it before work. Bring the kids, or bring the dog.

The trail is open to the public. You don't need to be a member, and you don't need to call ahead. Just park and go.

Home of Zionsville Cross Country

This is the home course for the Zionsville school cross country teams. On meet days, the woods fill up with runners, coaches, and families cheering from the edge of the path. It's one of our favorite sounds all year.

Bringing your dog

Dogs are welcome on the trail. Please keep them on a leash at all times and clean up after them. It keeps the path good for everyone, including the runners.
