Cicero Triathlon

Event Day Details

Start Time: The 5k Trail Ruck will begin at 9am and should be completed by 9:50am. The Endurance Ruck will begin at 10am.

Course: The course is a 1-mile loop and allows each participant to pass through the Start/Finish line as often as possible. Please note that this course is mostly unpaved.

Team Support: Since this is an endurance event it is designed so that all ages can rest and recharge when needed. Each registrant will get a space to set up a canopy or just chairs and have a space for coolers and other needed items.

Ages: This event is specifically designed to be enjoyed by all. We will have numerous participants as young as 5, and all fitness levels.

5k Trail Ruck: For the third time we will have a 5k ruck event before the endurance ruck This 5k trail will share the same mostly unpaved course as our rucking event.

As this is using the same course as our rucking event you'll need to complete three 1 miles laps, which will be just under 5k.

Participants for both 5k and Endurance are expected to bring their own rucksack (backpack), loaded with 10% of his or her body weight to carry for the duration of the event.

Designed for walkers, joggers, runners, families, and first-timers alike, the Parks & Petals 5K is all about enjoying the journey. Participants are encouraged to take their time, appreciate the scenery, and experience the course at a comfortable pace. This course includes a beautiful route, fresh air, and the perfect excuse to “stop and smell the peonies.” The event takes place the same weekend as the Indiana Peony Festival, making it the perfect opportunity to enjoy the blooming peonies throughout the area and take part in the many festivities happening around town.

The Parks and Petals 5K is a Walk, Run, Jog Event hosted by the Noblesville Parks Foundation. This is a fundraising event, and all proceeds will go towards the future support of Noblesville Parks and Recreation.

At our event each year, we have been able to raise enough money to purchase Cuddle Cots (bedside cooling units) to donate to local hospitals as well as several "Selah Boxes" which are special hand-crafted bereavement packages to help care for parents on their grief journey.

Sponsorships and donations are welcome as well! Be sure to click "donate" in the top right corner of this page. You can also choose to be a corporate sponsor and have your company/logo on our event t-shirt.
