Course & Travel Notes

On race morning in late October, expect typical Indianapolis fall weather with highs around 65°F and lows near 44°F, so layering is recommended since you'll start before sunrise at 9:30 AM (sunrise is at 8:04 AM). There's roughly a 28% chance of measurable rain, so consider bringing a light rain jacket or checking the forecast closer to race day. The St Jude Autumn 5K takes place at an elevation of 719 feet, which is relatively modest and shouldn't require any special acclimatization. Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is conveniently located just 8 miles from the venue, making it easy to reach the race start.
