Adaptive 5K returns May 13

By Shelly Gattlieb news@currentincarmel.com

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is preparing to host its second Adaptive 5K, a sensory-friendly event held on a completely accessible course.

CCPR

The race is set to begin at 10 a.m. May 13 in Central Park, 1195 Central Park Dr. East. All ages are welcome to participate, but pre-registration is required. Participation is $25 per person, and individual support is available.

The race is open to people of all ability levels, and all proceeds support CCPR’s efforts to provide affordable recreational activities for the adaptive community.

Kelvin Solares, CCPR inclusion program supervisor, is organizing the event.

“Last year, we realized a dire need for something like this in our community because so many people are not necessarily able to participate in a traditional race due to the loud, hectic and overcrowding at these events,” Solares said. “We wanted to create something more accessible.”

Jury duty scam calls — The Hamilton County Courts are warning residents about a jury duty scam that has bilked dozens of people out of thousands of dollars. Scammers are calling residents and telling them they missed jury duty and have to pay a fine. Victims have reportedly lost upwards of $2,000 to $3,000 through gift cards and mobile payments like Zelle and Venmo. When in doubt, Court Administrator Jill Acklin recommends residents hang up and call 317-776-8589.
