9th Annual Indiana County Decathlon
The 9th Annual Indiana County Decathlon is in full swing, packed with activities designed to help you get active and explore the beauty, culture, and history of Indiana County!
The program kicked off with the Hot Chocolate Walk, bringing a whopping 84 attendants! The Near Woods Winter Walk at White’s Wood and the Christmas Tree Walk brought 21 and 18 attendants respectively, in spite of cold weather and steep slopes.
This series of free walking events will continue through May, with something for everyone – from easy walks on paved paths to moderate walks on trails. If you prefer to explore at your own pace, we also have several self-led walking tours available.

The Indiana County Decathlon is an annual program that promotes physical activity and healthy living during the winter and spring months. It is a great way to stay active, get some fresh air, and enjoy the outdoors. The program is coordinated by a dedicated team of volunteers, in partnership with the PA WalkWorks program, the YMCA of Indiana County, Indiana County Parks & Trails, Friends of the Parks, the Indiana County Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ICATAC), Aging Services Inc., and the Indiana County Office of Planning & Development.
