Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

Join us for the third annual Westfield State Turkey Trot! The Turkey Trot is a 5K race around campus taking place on Saturday, November 15th. The first wave will leave at 11:00am. We will be racing around campus to help collect important items for those in need in November. When registering to race, you will be prompted to choose which donation type you plan to make as your entrance fee. There are three ways to give back as part of this year's race. $10 donation for the SGA Turkey Drive to help provide Thanksgiving Meals to families. Food Item to be donated to the Campus Food Pantry, Common Goods. Items that can be placed in Care Packages for those that are homeless. This would be things like toiletries, nutritious food, hand warmers, first aid supplies, and clean socks. We know not everyone has the same ability, but may want to participate in this fun event. We are offering two different levels of participation: Competitive 5K Race Race for Fun Did we mention every participant gets a FREE T-Shirt?

Inspired by the Taco Bell 50k in Denver, this is a 50k "fun" run around Hamilton County that has "aid stations" at 8 Taco Bell's along the way. The run starts with eating an item at Taco Bell #1 and then running to each Taco Bell in turn and eventually ending back at the same Taco Bell for one last item. NOTE: food is not provided! You must order your own Taco Bell! There are no restrictions on what items you may get, but there are 3 tiers of difficulty to this race: Tier 1: consume 1 food item at each taco bell Tier 2: By the 4th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Chalupa Supreme or one Crunchwrap Supreme By the 8th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Burrito Supreme or one Nachos Bell Grande Tier 3: All of the requirements of Tier 2 plus drinking 2 Liters worth of Baja Blast. While each of the tiers exists mostly as an additional challenge for the runner, I may try to 3d print some medals that somehow distinguish which challenge you completed. Keep in mind this is a free fun run, there will be no awards, there will be no officials or course marshals, there is no first aid, there is no course signage it is self supported, including the course navigation. Not every part of the course includes paths either, it is up to the individual to ensure their own safety while navigating the route. This race will start and end at the Taco Bell in Westfield near 31 and 32. This counts as both the 1st and 8th Taco Bell. The second Taco Bell in noblesville does not open until 8am, it is about 7 miles away, that means if you plan on running quicker than ~8:30/mile then you may want to order a second item at the first Taco Bell and bring it with you to eat at the second (totally legal). I would personally recommend this for everyone since I’m not sure how long it will take for the Taco Bell to get up and running, and you likely can’t place an app order until it opens. But you do you. Parking: to avoid leaving a bunch of cars in the taco bell parking lot, please consider parking either across the street or near the portillos. Optional timing and leaderboard will be done through the ALLEYKAT app! https://www.alleykat.app/share/race/6dbb989a-55e7-47d7-a70e-e77192cab905?type=unsanctioned A link to the course can be found here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/517601618
