FAQs
What are the options for running or walking?
This year we are hosting 3 different "events" for running or walking.
- The Scarlet 5K is a 3.1 mile course that loops around White River. Participants can run or walk this course and will be timed.
- The "Fun Run" is a roughly 1 mile course that loops around Celebration Plaza, which is the start/finish area for the 5K. This course is untimed and walking is also welcomed.
- Virtual Challenge: We are monitoring COVID-19 developments in real-time and recommend this challenge for people who would prefer a virtual option regardless. We recommend a distance of 3.1 miles on a course of your choosing. Ideally you could complete this challenge at the same time as the Scarlet Run and post pictures with #jli100 and #JLIndy and #JLIScarletRun so that we could support you in spirit!
When do I need to arrive for the 5K or Fun Run?
Please arrive at White River State Park in time to secure parking, pick up your packet (if you haven't done so already) and stow your belongings in your car. There will not be a bag check at registration. The first wave of runners (6-7 min/mile time) is scheduled to start at 10:00am with subsequent waves thereafter. We anticipate all runners starting by 10:15am. We anticipate the "Fun Run" starting after the last wave of 5K runners has started.
Are dogs allowed at this event?
No, please leave the pets at home for this event. However, service animals would be allowed; please note on your registration if you plan to bring one. Additionally, photos of pets are always welcomed so feel free to show off your favorite furry friend to one of our volunteers.
Are strollers allowed at this event?
Yes! Strollers are allowed on the course for runners/walkers.
Do I need to register my child(ren)?
It depends. If your child(ren) plan to stay in the stroller the entire time then it's not necessary to register them independently. If your child(ren) is a bit older and would like to be an active participant who receives a bib and results of their run/walk, then please register them. If you register them for the 5K, but wish to forego their t-shirt/medal, please email us at jli100@jlindy.org and we'll note that on their registration.
What do you do with my information you collected?
The information you filled out during registration: name, birthdate, etc. will not be sold or used for purposes outside the 5K and communication regarding it.
