Check-in and same-day registration will open at 4:00 PM, with the Competitive Mile beginning at 6:30 PM and the 5K starting at 7:00 PM. While the event is not officially chip-timed, the Competitive Mile will include race bibs for all participants, and photos will be taken at the finish to determine the overall winner, who will receive exclusive IU South Bend Womens Soccer merchandise. The 5K is open to all runners and walkers and will not include bibs. The event will take place rain or shine, parking is available in the large lot directly in front of the SAC, and cash payments will be accepted during the check-in window beginning at 4:00 PM.

Registration is $5, with additional donations are appreciated, price will increase June 3rd to $10, and then again July 24th to $20. All proceeds and donations will directly support the IU South Bend Women’s Soccer team in purchasing properly fitted running shoes for preseason training, helping promote injury prevention, athlete health, and performance. Before the race begins, participants and spectators can enjoy games, activities, and raffles creating a fun and energetic atmosphere for all ages. Whether you are competing in the mile, participating in the 5K, or supporting local student-athletes, we invite you to join us for an evening of community, school spirit, and meaningful impact.
