The seventh annual BENefit Mile will take place on Friday, August 2, in Plainfield, Indiana at 7:00 p.m.. This net downhill race will begin on Buchanan Street and finish in downtown Plainfield near the Plainfield Friends Meeting off of East Street. This event features a unique opportunity for seasoned runners to tackle a fast, shorter race than the typical road run, and will also appeal to those just starting out with running (walkers are also encouraged to participate)! Stick around after the races for post-race festivities!

Walk @ 7:00 PM

Sign up with your bestie, family, and kids for a fun stroll in Plainfield while supporting a great cause.

Run @ 7:25 PM

Get ready to throw down a fast mile on our downhill course. You're practically guaranteed a PR. Come show us what you've got!

$10,000 Raised in 2023!

The BENefit Mile will raise funds for the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent in memory of Ben Harmon, a Hendricks County resident and runner and who passed away in July of 2018 of Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Help us raise even more in 2024!

Ben’s optimism and genuine positivity towards everyone, as well as his fight against his cancer was incredibly inspiring.
