Spring 2025 Update
The ZOC (Zionsville Optimist Club) has been busy through the winter months with steadfast support to so many projects, programs and partner organizations for local youth.
All, and we mean all proceeds from our annual HIT-THE-BRICKS 5K Run & 3K Fun Run/Walk held in Zionsville’s supports youth in Zionsville and Boone County, Indiana. What is raised here stays here.
In the ZOC’s 44+ years we have given over $430,000 to local youth… $19,000 so far in 2025.
Each year we have been blessed with a beautiful fall morning whether you race the timed 5K for prizes in several age categories, or come for a casual 3K run or walk with friends and families and yes- strollers and pets are welcome.
Feel free to contact us with needs for local youth or find out more about our Club, one of 2,500 in the worldwide Optimist International dedicated to “Bringing Out the Best in Kids” and various community service programs.
