Event Description

This 5K event is perfect for competitive and fun runners, walkers, joggers, moms, dads, children and even pets! Event proceeds help families with children in area hospitals stay at the nearby Ronald McDonald House at little or no cost. That way, parents can be with their children throughout treatment without worrying about a large hotel bill. So far, IREM Indy, with the help of our sponsors and participants, has raised over $200,000! All of our great efforts go a long way, earning IREM Indy the prestigious Helping Hand Award and having a room named after us at the Ronald McDonald House! We hosted over 500 participants in 2019. There are cash prizes for top three male and top three female finishers. There will be games and activities for kids, plus a Rookie Run after the main 5K event!! Participants gain free entry to the Hall of Champions with race bib. The course is back on the popular Indianapolis Downtown Canal.
