Indy 500

Sunday, May 12th, 2013

Pedal & Park will again serve cyclists who pedal to the 2013 Indy 500 race. Billed as “the greatest spectacle in racing,” this world-renowned event draws top-ranked teams and drivers, and it also features what may be “the greatest way in and out of the race.” Our Pedal & Park corral, staffed by volunteers from the Speedway Trails Association, will be open two blocks south of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 1111 Polco Street.

Area law enforcement officers close West 10th Street from White River Parkway to Lynhurst Avenue to allow emergency vehicle access, and bicycles will be allowed to use this route to get to the Pedal & Park corral. Polco Street intersects with West 10th, so ride 10th Street to Polco, then turn north to the Pedal & Park corral. Visit our Indy Greenways trail system page and double-click on the yellow pushpin in Speedway to zoom in on the corral location and the West 10th Street route.

The Pedal & Park Indy 500 corral will be open on race day, Sunday 26, from 6 a.m. to one hour after the race ends.
