Love is Love 5k Run/Walk
The Love is Love event is a community 5k run and walk held on June 27, 2027 at Bluhm County Park in Westville, Indiana. Proceeds from the event benefit LGBTQ+ Outreach of Porter County.
All runners and walkers receive a Pride hat. Packet pick-up, race day sign-ups, and post-race snacks are located at the shelter near the park parking lot. The event uses a manual timing method: finishers receive a numbered popsicle stick that indicates overall place and must be returned to volunteers at the shelter. Participants who place in the top three of their age group receive a medal after turning in their stick; there is no formal awards ceremony.
Participants start together, with runners positioned toward the front and walkers toward the back, and are asked to place themselves by pace. Runners should wear their bib on the front of their shirts. A water stop is located at the 1.5 mile mark, which is also the turnaround point; the same route is followed back to the finish. The course is marked with flags and arrow signs at major turns. There are no bathrooms on the course. Snacks, water, and Powerade are available at the shelter after finishing.
The event is part of the Crazy Legs Race Series, which organizes park-based pavement and non-pavement races in northwest Indiana and states an inclusive registration policy for all gender identities. The series also acknowledges the Indigenous nations that historically stewarded the land used for its races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
