Overdose Lifeline Outpacing the Stigma 5K Run/Walk

Join us Saturday, October 17, 2026, for the 5th Annual Overdose Lifeline Outpacing the Stigma 5K Run/Walk* as we honor lives lost to drug overdose. The CDC estimated 80,391 U.S. drug overdose deaths in 2023. While this a 25% decline from 107,543 deaths in 2023, this is still 220 deaths per day. We will run and walk to remember those lives, especially Hoosier lives, as well as raise awareness. On the morning of Saturday, October 17, runners and walkers of all abilities, advocates, and affected individuals will come together on a beautiful course along the Indianapolis Canal and through the Butler Campus.
