Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon

The Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon & 5K, presented by Franciscan Health, is an annual running event held in West Lafayette, Indiana, starting and finishing outside Ross-Ade Stadium at Purdue University. The half-marathon course showcases iconic campus landmarks such as the David Ross Memorial, Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, Purdue Mall, and the Celery Bog Nature Area, while the 5K route stays close to campus, passing sites like the Slayter Center and Ackerman-Allen Golf Course. The event attracts nearly 5,000 participants and supports local underserved youth through the Purdue Athletes Life Success Program (PALS).

Runners receive a long-sleeve shirt, finisher medal, post-race refreshments, and have opportunities for age-group and overall awards. Discounts are offered to Purdue students and military members. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
