About this race
Welcome to the 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race — Indiana’s Largest Endurance Running Event!
Spending a full day outside historic Hinkle Fieldhouse feels like a "running tailgate" — part competition, part celebration — all while testing your physical and mental limits. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Throughout the day, participants can choose between:
Runners may switch between courses at any time to manage strategy, seek shade, or dial in a target distance. Both courses feature the now-famous Bulldog’s Revenge Hill, a defining challenge of The Dream.
The coveted cup goes to a local running club logging the most miles. Four different running clubs have captured The Cup over the last seven years. Will we have a new club take home the trophy?
What truly sets The Dream apart is more than the miles: The post-race party includes a FREE cookout, live music, beer garden, and the Podium Ceremonies. After a long day, free food, drink, and smiles is the only way to close the book on The Dream.
Whether you’re chasing miles, cheering teammates, or soaking in the atmosphere, The Dream delivers eight unforgettable hours.
