On the surface, the Little 500 is a charity bike race that students drink for in the name of tradition. That alone makes it pretty special. However it has much more substance to it than the average fan would realize. This is why I wanted to write something focused around what leads up to that One Day in April. In between the green, so to speak.
I began my Little 500 career after I transferred to Indiana from IUPUI upon burnout from collegiate running. Although one journey had run its course, the thought of being a “normal student” scared the hell out of me.
