Get ready for an exciting weekend of community spirit and fitness at the Back Your Badge Marathon, taking place from Saturday, September 20th to Sunday, September 21st, 2025, in the charming town of Plainfield, Hendricks. This premier race event is dedicated to honoring our Public Safety Agencies, including Police, Fire, and Communications, who are committed to the health and wellness of their personnel.

Participants can choose from a variety of race distances, including a 5K, a Half Marathon, and a Full Marathon, all set against a backdrop of some of the most scenic routes Plainfield has to offer. The course features historic US 40, the beautiful Plainfield Parks Trail System, and paths that will take you right by local police and fire stations.
