Race Description

The 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race, a premier event for endurance athletes, is set to take place in Indianapolis on July 19, 2025. This unique race allows participants to run, walk, or stroll for eight continuous hours, aiming to cover as much distance as possible. Known for its strong community spirit and participant return rate, the race has sold out for the past three years, making it a highlight in Central Indiana's running calendar.

Hosted at Butler University, the event features a choice of running courses, including a 5K and a short course, both of which provide the challenge of the infamous Bulldog's Revenge hill. Participants can join as solo runners, form teams in various divisions, or take part in the concurrent Cat Nap 5K, making it a family-friendly affair. With post-race festivities including a beer garden and live entertainment, the 8-Hour Dream offers a memorable experience for all involved.
