Join us on the campus of Indiana University South Bend for the Titan Takeoff 5k & 1mile, hosted in partnership with Fleet Feet Mishawaka and the IU South Bend Titans women's soccer. This untimed event will begin and end at the Student Activity Center (SAC), looping through campus on a fully paved course before returning to the finish line. Check-in and same-day registration will open at 5:00 PM, with the Competitive Mile beginning at 6:30 PM and the 5K starting at 7:00 PM. While the event is not officially chip-timed, the Competitive Mile will include race bibs for all participants, and photos will be taken at the finish to determine the overall winner, who will receive exclusive IU South Bend Womens Soccer merchandise. The 5K is open to all runners and walkers and will not include bibs. The event will take place rain or shine, parking is available in the large lot directly in front of the SAC, and cash payments will be accepted during the check-in window beginning at 5:00 PM.
