Event summary
Join us for the inspiring DNA 5K on Saturday, September 19th, 2026, in Indianapolis, Marion, where we come together to honor the memories of murder victims and advocate for justice. This uplifting event, themed "RUN FOR HOPE, STAND FOR JUSTICE," is inspired by Carmen Hope VanHuss and aims to raise funds for advanced DNA testing, which is crucial in solving over 7,000 cold cases in Indiana. Participants will not only enjoy a vibrant 5K run but will also contribute to a vital cause that ensures families receive the answers they deserve. Your support can make a real difference, as DNA testing can be expensive, often costing tens of thousands of dollars per case.

DNA 5K: RUN FOR _HOPE_, STAND FOR JUSTICE
Inspired by Carmen Hope VanHuss, and
_IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CRIME STOPPERS OF CENTRAL INDIANA_
We aim to raise money for advanced DNA testing to uncover crucial answers,
and ensure that the pursuit of justice continues for those who no longer have a voice.
With over 7000 cold cases in Indiana, DNA testing is critical in the pursuit of justice for these families.
And while we are lucky this technology exists, tests can run in the tens of thousands of dollars for one case depending on what is needed. Therefore, substantial fundraising is needed to ensure this crucial testing is accessible in a timely manner to all who need it. Please help us in this important pursuit!
