Heroes for the House 5K Run/Walk Presented by IREM - 20th Anniversary! 2026

Description

Join us for the special 20th anniversary edition! This 5K event is perfect for competitive and fun runners, walkers, joggers, moms, dads, children and even pets!

Event proceeds help families with children in area hospitals stay at the nearby Ronald McDonald House at little or no cost - that way, parents can be with their children throughout treatment without worrying about a large hotel bill.

So far, IREM Indy, with the help of our sponsors and participants, has donated over $335,000! All of our great efforts go a long way, earning IREM Indy the prestigious Helping Hand Award and having a room named after us at the Ronald McDonald House! There are cash prizes for top three male and top three female finishers plus age group awards . There will be games and activities for kids , plus a Rookie Run after the main 5K event!! The course is back on the popular Indianapolis Downtown Canal.
