Ivy Tech and the Monroe County Parks and Rec will continue to be the home of the course. We are very thankful for our partnership with Ivy Tech, Cook Medical, Simtra, the Monroe County YMCA and the Monroe County Parks & Rec to bring you this challenging course that highlights these businesses and the newly created Karst Park greenway that spans all the way to Ellettsville.
The 5K will run around Cook Medical and up to the NW YMCA before turning around and returning to Ivy Tech. The 10k option continues past the YMCA and down onto the Karst park greenway before reversing course and returning to Ivy Tech. The Half Marathon option continues on from there to span all of the new section of the Karst Park greenway and takes you all the way to Ellettsville before reversing course.
After initial feedback on the course, we want to again caption the saying that this is the TOUGHEST RUN YOU’LL EVER LOVE!!
In 2024 we reduced prices in spite of all of the increases in cost with inflation. It helped to boost our attendance and hopefully increased some positive word of mouth as well. We are keeping those reduced prices in place for 2026. We’re happy to pass along that this course is easier to secure, safer and more cost effective. Please help spread the word and get your friends to join!

I did not train as I should have for this race, and it was tough. I ran with my dad (his first half!) and we struggled with some of the hills, especially later in the course. Running through campus is beautiful, the race swag was okay – did not like the race colors being black and green instead of red and white! This is my slowest half by far!
