About this race

Lace up on the same championship course Indiana's best just raced-and run it forward for the next generation of high school athletes.

Held on the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course right after the IHSAA Boys' and Girls' Cross Country State Finals, the Run it Forward 5K allows each participant, regardless of pace, to experience the excitement of crossing the Championship Finish line. Each stride supports education-based athletics—the coaches, officials, and programs that shape kids long after the season ends.
