Race Information
Teachers’ Treasures and the American College of Education proudly present the Circle City Donut Dash!
This 5K supports Teachers’ Treasures, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit providing essential school supplies to teachers and students. Since 2000, we’ve distributed over $100 million in resources to local classrooms.
Across Marion County, many students arrive at school without basic supplies—leaving teachers to spend $800–$1,200 out of pocket each year to fill the gap.
Through our volunteer-powered “Store for Teachers,” we partner with the community to turn donated supplies into real classroom impact—serving nearly 6,000 teachers, 270+ schools, and 100,000+ students annually.
Every step you take helps equip a classroom.

Please Note...
Children 7 and under can run or walk with their parents free of charge in the Non-Donut 5K, but they will not be timed or receive any race materials. If you would like for your child to be timed or receive race materials, they must be registered for the event.
This event raises funds for Teachers' Treasures. There will be no refunds if the race must be canceled due to inclement weather. We will hold the race as long as conditions do not make holding it dangerous to competitors. If the race is canceled, you can still pick up your race packet at Teachers' Treasures.
No refunds will given if you are unable to attend the event after registering. The Circle City Donut Dash is a sellout race, and we order items well in advance for the race, so we are unable to issue a refund. All funds from the Circle City Donut Dash fund Teachers' Treasures and their help to the community throughout the year.
