Get ready for the 2025 Orchard Dash 5K & Lil Apple Dasher at the beautiful, family-owned Anderson Orchard

This isn’t your standard “fall 5K.” Orchard Dash is 100% a real, rustic, fall orchard run—not another pavement slog posing as “fall-themed.” Imagine winding between apple tree rows cultivated by one family for over 50 seasons, dipping past a scenic pond, climbing hills, and running on a charming patchwork of dirt, grass, and gravel paths. This is REAL orchard running—your feet won’t know what hit them (in a good way).

🏃‍♀️ What’s waiting at the finish line?
✨ Caramel apples
✨ Ice-cold cider slushies
✨ Yard games for all ages
✨ Gorgeous fall views—and all the apple orchard vibes 🍏

📅 Race Day: Sunday October 19, 2025
📍 Location: Anderson Orchard, Mooresville, IN
🕗 Start Time: 9:00 AM
🎟️ Register Now: www.OrchardDash.com

This staple Indy event returned a few years ago under our friend, RMP event lead, and Irvington neighbor Billy Payne’s leadership. It’s a fun one around one of the best neighborhoods in Indy to run/walk! They can still use volunteers for a few quick hrs this Saturday (8/23) morning. Visit pleasantrunrun.com to sign up for volunteer slots or to learn more about the event! It’s a great race as you train for those faster/longer fall races (Like The Historic Irvington Halloween Festival’s vampire run).

Not a runner? You can still help us make the Pleasant Run Run a success! Head on over to PleasantRunRun.com and click on Volunteer for more info!
