Course

The course will be a flat and fast loop around Huntertown. The course will start and finish in front of Huntertown Elementary. Runners and walkers will proceed north on Lima Road for approximately a mile. At that point, you will turn left onto Shoaff Road. Runners and walkers will continue on Shoaff Road for a little more than a half-mile before turning left onto Malcolm Road. Malcolm Road will turn into Hunter Road around the two and a quarter-mile mark. Runners and walkers will then follow Hunter Road until the three mile mark when you will turn right back onto Lima Road. At that point, you will see the finish line approximately 200 meters away. Scroll to the bottom of the page for an official MapMyRun course map.

History of Huntertown

Huntertown was originally called "The Opening", after being settled in a natural clearing in the forest, in about 1837. Huntertown is located on the old Lima Plank Road connecting Lima (now Howe) and Fort Wayne. The Perry Centre Seminary was founded in Huntertown in 1856, only to close five years later when the entire faculty and adult students enlisted in the Union Army. The town was platted in 1869. That means that this year marks Huntertown's 157th year in existence!

    Help Us Give Back:

    Fleet Feet Fort Wayne will donate $2.00 of each registration to Girls on the Run of Northeast Indiana. Why? Because everyone benefits when we support our kids. At Girls on the Run of Northeast Indiana they aim to inspire ALL girls of ALL abilities and backgrounds to build confidence, develop a positive mental attitude (find joy), and make intentional decisions, while fostering care and compassion for themselves and for others. Their incredible volunteer coaches are trained on how to use fun physical activities and have dynamic discussions to build social, emotional and physical skills in every girl while encouraging healthy habits for life. With our gift, we are helping a girl unleash her limitless potential. We are giving her a place where she feels accepted and understood, a place where she can connect with her peers, gain confidence, and discover her true power and potential. A place where she belongs.

    She is counting on us to give her Girls on the Run. And we encourage you to consider donating as well!

    Another way you can help is to become a SoleMate! SoleMates raise critical funds for Girls on the Run while completing a physical challenge. You don't need to be a star athlete to join—you only need to be a champion for the girls in their communities. Click here to learn more!

    Please consider an optional donation to Girls on the Run, so they can help more girls cross more finish lines. Thank you.

    Participants should enter through the entrance on Sherman Blvd on race day. The new Goshen Road entrance will be closed.

    The Zoo paths are narrow in some areas, so there will be a participant cap. There will be NO Day of Registration. Please see Packet Pick-Up details here: Participants | Fort4Fitness

    Spectators will also be allowed into certain areas inside the front gates during the race (main plaza to the Africa tunnel area), but not beyond the barriers set up. 5K participants can use their race bib to gain free reentry into the Zoo on Saturday, June 6th, 2026, following the completion of the 5K on Saturday morning at 9 AM.

    Due to the all-terrain nature of this course, runners under the age of 10 should be accompanied by an adult also running in the event.

    Proceeds go to the Fort Wayne Zoo. For the safety of our animals, dogs and other pets are not permitted. Service animals must check in at Zoo guest services prior to the race.
