Leveling cross country and track & field competition in Indiana

Ike's Spikes Indy is committed to providing athletes with proper footwear for their events, a problem often overlooked in running sports.  An athlete suffers a severe disadvantage without a pair of spikes, which cost about $100 on average.

About Ike'sSpikesIndy

At the high school level, proper running shoes can make a meaningful difference in an athlete’s ability to compete, potentially improving a 5K time by up to 30 seconds. Unfortunately, many talented athletes are limited not by ability or effort, but by the cost of proper footwear. Ike’s Spikes Indy was created as a statewide initiative to address this gap by collecting and redistributing running spikes to student-athletes in need across Indiana.

Upcoming Plans 

We are now busy reaching out to schools across Indiana to redistribute our large inventory of spikes to athletes running cross-country.  We plan to redistribute upwards of 100 pairs this season, which is over $10,000 worth of equipment.

How You Can Contribute

Your contribution directly impacts the lives of high school athletes. Whether it's monetary donations, in-kind donations, or spikes, your contribution is invaluable to us and the athletes we help.
