Gateway Gallop 5k

The 2023 Gateway Gallop 5K Walk/Run event will be held on August 5, 2023.  Over the past eight years, the previously named Flap Jacks 5K Walk/Run has raised funds to purchase land and support connectivity & expansion of the B&O, White Lick Creek & Vandalia Trails on the west side.  Why not make plans to participate in 2023.  This year's event has a new name but it still includes pancakes for all participants provided by The Breakfast Company!  Click HERE for more info and to register (or donate).

BOTA Breaks Ground on New Trail Section

The B&O Trail Association held a ceremonial groundbreaking on November 9, 2022 for its newest trail section, which runs from County Road 500 East to County Road 250 East in Hendricks County. “This is an exciting day for BOTA as construction is now beginning on the next phase of the B&O Trail,” said Jeff Smallwood, BOTA president. “We are one step closer to our long-term vision of a trail stretching from downtown Indianapolis to Montezuma, Indiana.”

A Few Extra Jackets Remain

Our spring sale was a great success.  We may consider a future jacket sale in the fall.  Watch social media and this site for more details.  In the meantime, we have a very limited quantity of (mostly medium) men's and women's jackets remaining for $35 each.  Send us an email at contact@botrail.org to inquire on availability.
