Indiana
Indiana's Mini 500 began in 1955 as a means to involve women in the Little 500 celebration. The Mini 500 was exclusively for women until 1978. The modern Mini 500 is organized by the Student Foundation Special Events Steering Committee and it is held in Assembly Hall. The race featured men's, women's, and coed divisions. Trikes were specially made for the race with larger front wheels and stronger frames. Teams were composed of four riders and one optional coach.
This event was discontinued in 2002 and replaced with the Little Fifty, a relay-style footrace.
