Jill Behrman was an IU student and an employee of Recreational Sports. In May 2000, Jill left for a solo bike ride and never came back. Three years later, it was discovered that she had been murdered. In October 2000, the JB5K was created to keep the memory of Jill alive and to bring awareness to issues of violence in our community. Proceeds from the JB5K IU Color the Campus Walk/Run benefit the Jill Behrman Emerging Leader Scholarship, personal safety workshops and other Recreational Sports programs on campus throughout the year. The JB5K is a non-competitive walk/run through the Indiana University campus with photo opportunities and entertainment along the way. The event begins and ends at the Student Recreational Sports Center. Onsite registration on the day of the event starts at 9:30AM in the SRSC Lobby, with the walk/run beginning at 11:00AM. Warm-ups led by SRSC staff start at 10:00AM; food, dancing and more color follow the walk/run. It’s a PARTY! Bursar billing is available for current IU students; $30 through Oct. 11th; $35 after Oct. 11th. IU parking is NOT ticketed during this event. The color powder consists of eco-friendly cornstarch and food grade coloring. Open to the community; children and pets are NOT allowed.
