About the race
The Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon & 5K, presented by Franciscan Health, is a West Lafayette campus event drawing about 5,000 runners. The race starts and finishes outside Ross-Ade Stadium, with the half-marathon routing through the Purdue campus and nearby West Lafayette, while the 5K stays near campus. Competitors receive a long-sleeve shirt, a finisher medal, post-race refreshments, and chances for age-group or overall awards.
Course highlights include the David Ross Memorial Garden, Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, Purdue Mall, Engineering Fountain, Memorial Union, Celery Bog Nature Area for the half, and campus sights on the 5K.
