CALLING ALL RUNNERS, WALKERS, STROLLERS AND SUPPORTERS:

TAKE YOUR NEXT GIANT LEAP AT THE 5K CHALLENGE!

The 18th annual 5K Challenge is a race experience in Tippecanoe County that brings together the Boilermaker community and beyond to support innovative cancer research at the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research.

Since its start in 2008, the Challenge has had a powerful impact — generating more than $1 million to advance lifesaving science at the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research. The event brings real hope to survivors and their loved ones, proving that small steps lead to big change.

Each HKRS Series takes place once a week and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 75 yard dashes, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile and the 1 mile run. Kids will earn points for each race they complete based on their finish.
