From the organizer
The inaugural running of the Finan Doyle Dash is a fast and flat 2‑mile run held in honor of an extraordinary human whose life was taken far too soon. Finan loved running—especially the 2‑mile—during his time with Ben Davis Track & Field, where his love for the sport truly came to life.
Finan was full of life. He loved adventure, thrived on community, and cherished time spent with friends. No matter the event, Finan always showed up with a smile, ready to give his best and lift those around him. Finan was studying at Purdue University and was enrolled in the Air Force ROTC, pursuing his goal of becoming a fighter jet pilot in the United States Air Force after graduation.
This Dash is an invitation to do the same. Runners are encouraged to dedicate their run to someone meaningful in their life—a friend, a loved one, a teammate, or anyone whose spirit inspires them to keep moving forward. Together, we run with purpose.
Proceeds from the Finan Doyle Dash are donated to the Finan Doyle Scholarship, available to eligible Ben Davis students.
Come with a smile. Come with a thirst for adventure. Come ready for the community to come together—honoring Finan, and celebrating a son, friend, and a truly great human.
