How fast is it?
Slower than most Indiana 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 38:56, against 28:30 in a typical Indiana 5K, so times here run 37 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Typical race-day weather
Around October 17 the day usually runs from 47°F at dawn to 68°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 19% of days. Cold snaps dip to 39°F and hot years reach 77°F.
Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.

Run. Walk. Remember.
Every step helps keep families together.
Join us on Saturday, October 17, 2026, for the 6th Annual Overdose Lifeline Outpacing the Stigma 5K Run/Walk.
