Arsenal 5k Run/Walk

This volunteer-organized, family-friendly, fun 5K Run/Walk takes place on the beautiful, historic campus of IPS Arsenal Technical High School and aims to combine health, history and a sense of community. First-time 5k runners, young runners and children are encouraged to participate. It is a casual, mixed-terrain 5k course (asphalt, concrete, brick, grass, gravel). Race starts at 9:00 a.m., and on-site registration and bib pickup start at 8:00 a.m.

Participate along with friends, family, your neighborhood, Tech alumni, clubs and teams, or join in as an individual. Everyone is welcome! Whether this is your first 5k or your 50th, we encourage runners, walkers, and teams to enjoy the course around the historic grounds and help raise money to support students. 

High school seniors who would like to be eligible for an individual scholarship need to participate in some way - either completing the race or volunteering. Race entries for students are free, but do not include a race t-shirt. Arsenal Tech Extracurricular Clubs who want to be eligible for a grant also need to have members participate, volunteer or contribute in some way. Scholarships and grant amounts are determined by the funds raised, and number of applications received. 

Since its inception in 2000, the Arsenal 5K Run/Walk has donated more than $65,000 in college scholarships to Near Eastside high school seniors, and has recently begun awarding funds to extracurricular clubs at Arsenal Technical High School.

Arsenal 5k Inc., has recently incorporated as a registered 501c3 non-profit. We appreciate your continued support!  

Join fellow runners on September 20, 2025 for the Arsenal 5k Run/Walk. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Indianapolis.
