Running routes in Indianapolis: where the heart fits in
Most running routes in Indianapolis fall into three families: park loops for easy days, waterfront or riverside stretches for tempo work, and city-street circuits for sightseeing miles. The heart route is the fourth kind — a street circuit planned so the GPS trace draws something worth sharing. Runners use it as a race-week shakeout, a dedication run with a name on the watch, or simply the most memorable run of a city trip.
