Despite an early morning downpour and thunderstorm, the weather cleared up at noon and set the stage for a beautiful day for Little 5. A 15-minute delay for the women's race was the only effect the weather had on competition.
Starting at 2:45, the women began their 36 laps paced by DePauw University cyclist Chris Day for two laps. This year, the course changed from the track to the road. The riders started on College Street, turned left onto Hanna Street , then down Indiana Street and finally to Olive Street to end up back on College.
In the women's race, a lead pack of eight riders was established. The group stayed together all the way through the final lap.
