About the race
The Cole Porter Classic is an annual road race held in Peru, Indiana, hosted by the Peru Rotary Club. The 2025 event takes place on October 4 at the Miami County YMCA. It features three main events: a 10K run, a 5K run, and a 5K competitive race walk.
The course is relatively flat, running along the Riverwalk Park trail, city streets, and the Nickel Plate Trail, with all races starting and finishing at the YMCA. Participants enjoy chip timing, frequent water stations, and restroom facilities. Awards are given to top finishers by age group and overall, and the first 150 entrants receive a finisher’s medal.
