Race Away From Domestic Violence (RAFDV)
Join us in downtown Indianapolis for the 2026 Race Away From Domestic Violence 5k, benefiting the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV). Starting at 8:00am, this impactful 5k aims to raise awareness of the devastating affects that domestic violence has on our families and communities. ICADV works for the prevention and elimination of domestic violence – until the violence ends. Over the past 22 years, ICADV has raised over $400,000 to support survivors with resources and programs that increase their safety and stability including legal, housing and economic supports.
Participants can run, walk or roll through a route beginning at the IUI Michael A. Carroll Stadium, which offers beautiful views of the White River and Indianapolis Zoo. The 5K course is accessible and allows individuals of all ages and abilities to participate.
