8-Hour Dream Endurance Race

& Cat Nap 5K

The 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race is a Fixed Duration event; you have 8 hours to run, walk, skip, or crawl as far as you can. It is the largest endurance running event in Central Indiana and has experienced record each year. It has been awarded the Road Runners Club of America State Championship for the Endurance distance three years in a row! 2020 was a unique year for The Dream with COVID changes in place. Even with the restrictions, The Dream SOLD OUT with runners from 14 states.

There are three ways to participate; the Solo division, Team Division and in the Cat Nap 5K. The Team Division offers two team size competitions; 3-4 members and 5-6 members. The Cat Nap 5K starts at the same time as The Dream offering family and friends to run the first loop with Solo runners.

What makes The Dream unique is the start time (10 AM) the location (outside of the Historic Hinkle Fieldhouse on Butler University's campus) and the Closing Ceremonies and Post-Race Party. The Post-Race Party features a beer garden, complimentary hamburgers and hotdogs prepared by charity members and a live bluegrass band!

Throughout the day, participants choose between the long course (5K) or the short course (1.82 miles) for strategy, shade or to achieve the accurate distance they are shooting for. Both courses take you up and over the now famous Bulldog's Revenge hill.
