Course Highlights
We return in 2025 to North Central High School after a nice rotation with Brebeuf the past few years. We will run 5k on their Cross Country course – featuring grassy segments, some paths through the trees, a couple little hills, and a fun finishing chute. We’re blessed to have great help from the North Central XC team, plus a water stop on the course.

Charity Teams
Each registrant will join a charity team while registering for the race. You can choose one of our designated Anchor Charity Teams or create your own charity team. (Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone. Select the team whose charity you would like to support and meet your new teammates at the race!) The more people on each team, the more funds are raised for that charity, so recruit as many friends as you can for your team!
$15 of your entry fee will go to directly to your selected charity. The other $15 will go to the racing pot to be split among the top scoring teams.
Anchor Charities
We will again be hosting several “Anchor Charity Teams” that anyone can join and support. Our flagship anchor team is Team Dono supporting Outrun the Sun in honor of our dear friend, Don Keller, who passed away in the summer of 2020 after a long journey that started with melanoma.
We have identified five “Anchor Charities” for 2025:
Outrun the Sun (Team Dono)
Outrun the Sun, Inc. is dedicated to building awareness of melanoma and other skin cancers, educating communities about preventive measures that reduce melanoma’s incidence rate, and to raising funds for melanoma research, leading to effective treatments and a potential cure.
Back on My Feet
Back on My Feet uses running as a platform for addressing homelessness and recovery by fostering confidence, community, and connectedness for members, volunteers, and those working to build a stable, healthier lifestyle.
Joseph Maley Foundation
The Joseph Maley Foundation actively works to include the diversity and depth of the human experience in all it does. Through education and service, the Foundation strives to create an inclusive community in Greater Indianapolis where all belong. Joseph Maley passed away from leukemia at the age of 18. In his memory, Vivian, John, and their sons established Joseph Maley Foundation with the mission to “serve children of all abilities”. Through the Foundation and the work Vivian created in 1998, we continue to honor Joseph’s legacy of acceptance for ALL.

Create Your Own Team
You’re also welcome to form your own team to represent your favorite charity. (There’s no minimum number of registrants for a team; however, scoring during the race is based on the top 5 finishers from each team.) In years past we have had teams represent children’s hospitals, fundraising and research for different diseases, animal shelters, services for veterans, etc.
Note: As part of registration, we will need the EIN/Tax ID number and a current mailing address for your charity for verification and fund distribution.
