Distances: 5K & 10K courses (to be announced)
Post-Race: Awards ceremony, refreshments, and a raffle.
Come lace up your sneakers, raise awareness, and show your support for IDEA’s vital work. Together, we’ll make strides toward a healthier, drug-free Indiana—one footstep at a time.

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for September in Mishawaka.
Mishawaka is in Northern Indiana. The town is named after Princess Mishawaka of the Potowatomi tribe. Its adjacent twin city is South Bend, Indiana, which is west of the city. The St. Joseph River runs through downtown where a new riverwalk is still being constructed. Though South Bend has a great deal to offer in terms of tourist attractions, Mishawaka also has quite a few things to see and do. Notre Dame and South Bend are a short drive away if boredom begins to take over.
