This volunteer-organized, 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. 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 or your neighborhood as a team, or join in as an individual. 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.
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 recently started monetary awards to extracurricular clubs at Arsenal Technical High School.
As we get closer to race day, we will confirm this year's course. Please see the map from the 2023 race as an approximation.
The course has changed from previous years. Longshore Stadium is undergoing major repairs. We will begin and end by the West Gym, and have added a loop around the Fountain in the Quad. Please look for course signage and volunteers on race day to direct you - there are many turns!
Restrooms will be available inside the West Gym.
Also note, race surfaces are mixed! The course is mostly sidewalks, but does go on grass around the soccer fields and through Liberty Grove. It is not a completely closed course, so you may encounter pedestrians, bikes, tree branches on public sidewalks along 10th Street and Oriental.
One last course note - we will NOT be using timing chips this year, so please wear your bib number prominently on your front, so our volunteers can manually record your time crossing the finish line.
