Sister Cities of Greenfield 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk
The Sister Cities of Greenfield 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk is an annual event held in Greenfield, Indiana. The proceeds from the race support cultural exchange programs between Greenfield and its sister city, Kakuda, Japan. These programs facilitate travel and hosting for student and teacher delegations, fostering international friendship and cooperation.
The available distances for the event include:
- 5K run or walk
- 1 Mile run or walk
Participants follow a down-and-back course along the Pennsy Trail. The route begins at the Sister Cities Park, located next to the Greenfield Police Department, and heads west before turning around to return to the starting point.
The event operates under a rain or shine policy, though extreme weather such as lightning may cause delays or cancellations. In addition to the run, the organizers host a book drive for the Little Free Library at the Sister Cities Pagoda, where participants can donate books during packet pickup or on the day of the race. Parking is available in a city lot at the corner of S. Pennsylvania and E. South Street, or on local streets near the park.
Early packet pickup is typically held the evening before the event at the Sister Cities Pagoda, or at the Greenfield Fire Station in case of rain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
