After years of running trails in Southern California and Arizona - guided jeep tours through the canyons outside Palm Springs, Baja off-road racing in Mexico, and countless weekends picking through desert washes in between - the itch for new terrain gets harder to scratch.

Lucas Oil Stadium is home to the Indianapolis Colts, but the building was designed to convert into one of the largest basketball arenas in the world - seating upwards of 70,000 for events like the NCAA Final Four. This is the fourth time Indianapolis has hosted the Men's Final Four at Lucas Oil (2010, 2015, 2021, 2026), and the city handles it better than anywhere else in the country. But the tournament is only half the trip. Indy is compact, walkable, and loaded with food and drink that most visiting fans never find because they don't leave the arena radius. I've been here multiple times for the racing scene and every visit I end up finding more reasons to round up the guys and come back.
