About
The 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race & Cat Nap 5K takes place in Indianapolis on July 10, 2027, on the Butler University campus. The 8-hour race is a timed event in which participants have eight hours to cover as much distance as possible, while the Cat Nap 5K (3.1 miles) offers a shorter option; both start at 10 a.m.
Runners can compete solo or on a team, with team categories including men's, women's and mixed, plus special divisions for nonprofits and fitness clubs. The loops include the tough Bulldog's Revenge hill.
Known for its strong turnout, the event wraps up with a post-race party featuring a beer garden, music and food.
