Fishers residents are invited to celebrate heart health and the outdoors at the annual Heart Hike on Saturday, February 28.

The free, all-ages event will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve, 10410 Hague Road. The event is hosted by Fishers Parks in partnership with the Fishers Health Department.

The Heart Hike is designed as a short, self-guided walk along the preserve’s natural trails. Participants will encounter posted images of heart shapes found in nature throughout the park, along with heart-healthy tips provided by the Fishers Health Department.

In addition to the hike, visitors can interact with Fishers Parks nature education staff to learn more about the preserve and the wildlife that calls Ritchey Woods home.

The event encourages residents of all ages to get outside, stay active and focus on cardiovascular health while enjoying one of the city’s natural areas.

Organizers are also seeking volunteers to serve as event ambassadors during the hike. Those interested in volunteering can learn more and sign up at this link.

Heart Hike is free and open to the public.
