The most unique race in Southern Indiana! As underground temperatures year-round are 54 degrees, this will undoubtedly be the coolest July race around.

The course will start Marengo Boys and Girls Club proceeding down SR 64 passing Marengo Cave. It then heads directly to the underground tour at mile 1 doubling back to finish just outside at the festival. Features include the underground, rolling hills, and scenic small town Indiana charm. By far the coolest both in temperature and in novelty.

The warehouse features several back and forth hairpin turns eventually leading down a corridor of offroad-like but smooth terrain. The entry point is shortly after the 1 mile interval where the indoor portion is right at 2 miles in total. Inside you will find good lighting, good temperature, and fast and flat terrain. A destination race that will offer major relief from the hot summer and a scene like none other.

    For Incoming 2nd–8th Graders

    Join us for four fun-filled evenings of movement, teamwork, and confidence-building at the Floyd Central Summer Running Camp! This camp is designed for incoming 2nd–8th graders of all ability levels—from first-time runners to experienced athletes looking to improve their skills.

    Each day, campers will participate in age-appropriate running workouts focused on proper form, endurance, speed, and overall fitness. Sessions are designed to be challenging yet fun, with an emphasis on encouragement and personal growth rather than competition. In addition to running, campers will engage in daily team-building activities that promote sportsmanship, leadership, and friendship.

    Campers will be coached by current and former Floyd Central High School athletes and coaches, providing a positive, high-energy environment and great role models for young runners. One highlight of the week will be our Track & Field Event Discovery Day, where campers get the opportunity to try a variety of track and field events—such as sprints, distance running, jumps, and throws—helping them discover new interests and strengths.

    As a special bonus, every camper will receive a FREE entry to the Night Raid 5K or the Night Raid 800m Fun Run on Friday, July 17, giving them the chance to celebrate their hard work and be part of an exciting community race.

    Whether your child wants to build fitness, make new friends, or explore track and field, this camp offers a supportive and energetic summer experience they won’t forget!
