The 2026 Circle City Donut Dash 5K will take place on March 21 at the Fowling Warehouse in Indianapolis. Proceeds from the event will benefit Teachers’ Treasures, a nonprofit that provides free school supplies to teachers and students in need throughout Marion County. The 5K includes a Donut Challenge, where participants must eat 12 donut holes at the halfway point. Participants can choose a non-donut 5K run or walk, but still receive donuts at the finish line. The event has grown to attract about 1,500 participants and supporters. For the 2026 race, the nonprofit partnered with Indianapolis Public Schools to bring 100 students to the event. All registered licensed teachers will receive a voucher for an additional free shopping trip at the Teachers' Treasures store.
