Sprint for the SOC Fundraising 5K Walk & Run

Sprint for the SOC Fundraising 5K Walk & Run takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana, on October 25, 2026. The 5K run starts at 10:00 a.m., and the event is set up so that walkers and runners share the same course, which makes it easy to sign up with friends or family who are at different levels.

For a fundraiser 5K like this one, the practical question is simply what you want out of the morning. Treat it as a social outing and the distance takes care of itself; treat it as a race and you can get sharp on it in about a month, adding one session of short repetitions per week to your easy running. The 10:00 a.m. start is late enough that you can eat breakfast normally and still warm up unhurried.
