TrailMixer FAQ's
Who's behind the TrailMixer events?
Each TrailMixer event is hosted independently by a trail-related partner. TrailMixer lifts up the many local governments and parks departments, non-profit trail associations, trail enthusiast and advocacy groups, neighborhood groups, and other trail-adjacent entities that make the Trailways so vibrant.
Does TrailMixer have tickets? What does it cost?
Virtually every TrailMixer is free and open to the public.
The only exceptions are the Pet Walk in Franklin, which is a fundraiser for trail improvements, and the Ladies Weekend Getaway in Lebanon, which is an exclusive multi-day event for women.
Some events do require registration, though, so check the event information for details.

Each day and event is different, with deals and specials, swag drops, and events all across Greater Indy. Whether you walk, run, bike, or roll, there’s something for everyone—and their families—every day at TrailMixer.
Where is TrailMixer?
