Course, rules, and beneficiaries
The 5K and 10K routes run through Butler’s campus. The 1-mile Dawg Walk is on campus and is open to families and pets. Strollers are permitted on the 5K route only. Friendly dogs are welcome on the 5K course but are not allowed on the 10K route.
Charitable giving is part of the event. The top three Butler campus organizations with the largest number of participants and volunteers receive donations of $150, $100, and $50. Event proceeds also support Butler HRC student wellness and grant programs, Indy Runners community initiatives including a scholarship program, and the 1-mile Dawg Walk benefits the Indianapolis Humane Society. In 2025 the event raised roughly $6,000 for its beneficiaries. The Bulldog Jog counts more than three decades of history and an ongoing partnership with Butler University.
