Back Your Badge Marathon

The Back Your Badge Marathon is a community-focused running event held in Plainfield, Indiana, designed to support local public safety agencies, including police, fire, and communications. Scheduled for September 20-21, 2025, the marathon features multiple race options: a full marathon, half marathon, 5K, and a Kids Fun Run. Participants can choose which agency to support, with each mile they run contributing to that agency's total distance.

The agency with the most miles will receive a traveling trophy. Proceeds from the event benefit public safety programs, local youth assistance initiatives, and a paramedic scholarship program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
