IU Virtual Little 500
While teams of IU Bloomington students will race around the quarter-mile cinder track at Bill Armstrong Stadium on May 26 in Indiana University’s iconic Little 500 race, everyone off the track has an option to participate as well. This year, the IU Student Foundation, in partnership with Echelon Racing and The Media School at IU, will offer a virtual Little 500 race.
The virtual Little 500 Series will take place over two days with a 20-lap time trial at 10 a.m. May 22 and then women’s and men’s races May 23. To participate in the virtual race, riders will need to register by 5 p.m. May 20 and will need to have a bike; a smart trainer, Bluetooth-enabled power meter or Bluetooth-enabled speed and cadence sensor; a mobile device; and a tablet or computer. Echelon Racing Promotions will provide additional guidelines for testing riders’ set-up, practice and event participation.
Registered riders can participate in optional practice rides, which are 20- and 30-mile training routes. The optional 20-lap time trial will be 5 total miles: 20 laps around a quarter-mile track. During the virtual race itself, riders will have a video-game-like experience, with each rider having an avatar that will appear on screen and move the rider along based on how they’re performing in the race compared to other riders.
