April 26, 2025 – Benson and Auburn Trail

We had a very low turn-out this week – only 2 ran the route. Blame it on weather (it poured!), the holiday (Easter) and the upcoming marathon (Boston). But the route seemed so nice I am going to re-run it this week!

Turn left out of the parking lot, then turn right on Fishers Rd. Turn left onto Benson and follow Benson all the way to Rt. 96 – turn right on 96, then turn left onto Rowley (across from Main St Fishers) Stay on Rowley which will bring you back to 96. Turn left on 96, then right on Rt 251. Turn right on the Auburn Trail and follow the Auburn Trail all the way to Powder Mills Park. Turn right on Woolston, then left on Corduroy, and right on Park Rd. A left on 96 brings you back to the parking lot – distance is 12 miles.

For 9.8 miles – when on 96 past Benson – turn right on Main St Fishers – and then when in Fishers – turn right on the Auburn Trail and rejoin the main route.
