RUN(317) 2026: Everything You Need to Know

*2026 details are still being finalized by the RUN(317) team. We will update this guide as soon as official information is published so you can plan your race series with confidence.

RUN(317) is a 3.17 mile race series that celebrates Central Indiana's 317 area code with neighborhood events and a festival atmosphere. Each event blends running or walking with music, food, and a lively post-race hangout.

As a proud sponsor, Athletic Annex supports the RUN(317) series with race-week gear, expert shoe fitting, and a presence at select events. Below is your guide to RUN(317) 2026 - what it is, who it is for, how the series works, and how to join in the fun even if you do not plan to run.

What is RUN(317)?

RUN(317) is a race series built around 3.17 mile runs and walks across the 317 area code. Every event is designed to feel like a local community night out, usually featuring:

• A 3.17 mile course that you can run or walk at your own pace
• Event start times and schedules that vary by location and year
• A social post-race vibe with music and local community partners

It is designed to be as social as it is athletic - you can chase faster efforts or simply enjoy a night out with friends, coworkers, or family.

Who RUN(317) Is For

RUN(317) is designed to be approachable and fun for a wide range of participants:

• New runners and walkers who want a manageable distance and a friendly atmosphere
• Social runners who enjoy group runs and post-race community vibes
• Local residents looking to explore different parts of the 317 area code (as locations are announced)

• Friends and family who want to join the fun with a Party Pass even if they do not plan to run

Beat the Clock - Series Competition (Subject to 2026 Updates)

Beat the Clock is RUN(317)'s optional competitive layer. Specific rules, standards, and eligibility can change year to year, so use this as a general overview and confirm the 2026 details on the official RUN(317) site.

In general, Beat the Clock works like this:

• You participate in the full series as defined for that year
• Your event times can be tracked across the series for standings or a cumulative goal
• RUN(317 publishes the official requirements and standards for the season

This structure gives competitive runners a season-long goal while keeping each individual event welcoming to all paces.

Party Pass - Join the Fun Without the Run

If you have friends or family who want to be part of RUN(317) but are not ready for the 3.17 mile distance, the Party Pass is a great option. Availability, perks, and pricing can change by year, so confirm the details for 2026 on the official event page.

With a RUN(317) Party Pass you can generally:

• Skip the run and join the event atmosphere without racing
• Enjoy the music and community vibe with registered runners
• Choose from single-event or multi-event Party Pass options (as offered)

Series Packages vs Individual Events (Pricing May Change)

RUN(317) often offers multiple ways to sign up, and multi-event packages can provide better value than registering for each event individually. Exact pricing, perks, and package structure can change for 2026.

• Individual events: Register per event
• Multi-event series packages: Bundled options (examples from prior years include 3 event and 5 event series)
• Party Pass packages: Multi-event Party Pass options when available
