Lions Pride 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the Lions Pride 5K, kicking off on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming town of Rushville, Indiana. This popular event, hosted at Benjamin Rush Jr High School, is the exciting first race in the Southeastern Indiana Racing Circuit (SIRC), a summer series dedicated to supporting local school running programs. Known for its notably fast and flat USATF Certified 5K Course, the Lions Pride 5K offers an ideal opportunity for runners to chase a personal best or simply enjoy a scenic outing.

Participants can choose from a 5K Run, 5K Walk, or even a 5K Dog Walk, fostering a vibrant and inclusive community atmosphere. As the first stop in the SIRC, the race sets the stage for a summer of friendly competition, with participants in four or more races eligible for overall circuit awards and a substantial $1,000 grand prize giveaway at the series' finale. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 83°F and lows around 62°F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. Join fellow athletes and community members for a rewarding experience that blends fitness, camaraderie, and support for a great cause.
