The Melt Down 5K

The Melt Down is a unique running event held in Shelbyville, Indiana, featuring three consecutive 5K races in one day. Participants can choose to run one, two, or all three races, which start hourly beginning at 8 a.m. The course is a scenic, wide, smooth paved trail that passes through two parks and crosses a historic bridge.

Amenities include indoor restrooms, a free splash pad, and a playground near the start/finish area. Finishers of all three races receive a custom Melt Down medal. The event offers summer-themed t-shirts and awards for top finishers in the first race and for the best combined times across all three races.
