Officials started early to avoid incoming rain and later paused for about an hour due to lightning, according to the Indiana Daily Student.
The race is modeled after the Indianapolis 500, as teams of four race around a central track. The men’s race is 50 miles long; the women’s is 25 miles.
Proceeds from the Little 500 benefit Students Helping Students, the philanthropic arm of the IU Foundation, which also hosts the event.
