Black Friday 5K Run/Walk

The Black Friday 5K Run/Walk offers a post-Thanksgiving race in Shelbyville, Indiana, held at the Intelliplex Conference Center near I-74 and Indianapolis. The course is a flat 5K on paved trails, beginning in the morning with chip timing and accurate distance measurement. Indoor registration and restrooms are conveniently located near the start and finish, a practical feature for a late November event. The course follows paved trails within the Intelliplex area and adjacent neighborhoods, making it suitable for beginners, walkers, and those aiming for a fast 5K time. Walkers are timed alongside runners, all finishers receive a medal, and awards are given to the top overall and age-group finishers. This marks the 16th year for the race, organized by Energy2Action, LLC, with proceeds benefiting Pantry Pals and other Shelby County food pantries.
