The cost to register increases $5 per event after regular registration ends. Late registration will be available noon-8 p.m. Oct. 18 at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel at 1500 Cumberland Ave. On race day, late registration will be available on the north side of Ross-Ade Stadium at 6-8 a.m.

Water stations, medical stations and entertainment stations will be available along the course. All half-marathon participants will receive a long-sleeved tech shirt, and 5K participants will receive a long-sleeved cotton shirt. All who finish the race will receive medals. Food and drink will be provided at the finish line, and an awards ceremony will take place later in the morning at the race site.

Part of the event's proceeds will benefit the Purdue Athletes Life Success (PALS) program.
