Circle City Donut Dash 5k - Indianapolis, Indiana - Running

The Circle City Donut Dash 5k is a Running race in Indianapolis, Indiana consisting of a 5K.

Come join us for the tastiest 5k of the year benefiting Teachers' Treasures! The Circle City Donut Dash 5K presented by the American College of Education is a run/walk event with 2 different types of races. The premier event is the Donut Challenge, a 5k where participants must consume a dozen delicious donuts at the halfway point! We also have a non-donut 5k for the less ambitious runners out there, but don't worry, you can still eat donuts post-race!

Donut Challenge vs. Non- Donut Challenge

Donut Challenge- Not your typical 5K! Participants take on the challenge of consuming a dozen Jack's Donut holes halfway, before racing back to the finish.

- All donuts in the challenge will be donut holes from Jack's Donuts Downtown.

Non-Donut Challenge- Make the 5K run/walk as competitive or fun as you like! Donut worry, there will be plenty of donuts to enjoy after the race.
