Indy Races 2026

Indy Races’ mission is to support families affected by pediatric illnesses by raising funds for organizations that operate primarily on donations and volunteers. Through the Indy Races, we aim to provide ongoing assistance to these organizations, enabling them to continue helping families in need. 

We are committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle and fostering a supportive community. We enjoy seeing people actively engage in outdoor activities and connect with one another. It is truly inspiring to witness individuals unite for a common purpose, prioritizing their health, enjoying nature, and participating in wellness-focused activities.

Our event will be in-person this year, with a virtual option. The Indy Races will take place at Lake Shawnee in Topeka, KS, on September 19, 2026 (Childhood Cancer Awareness Month).

If you choose the virtual option, you can walk, run, jog, bike, or swim. The following options are ANYWHERE—inside, outside, at the gym, or even on a treadmill!

If you do not want to participate in a race, please donate to this great cause. Every dollar makes a difference!
Thank you so much for your attention and participation.
