  • A safe Little 500

Enjoy Little 500 weekend -- and keep an eye on your friends

Friday, April 14, 2017

Little 500 Indiana University

Little 500 weekend at Indiana University signals the beginning of the end -- typically a time to enjoy warming temperatures and to blow off steam before finals and the end of spring semester.

Many IUPD-Bloomington officers also are IU alums and appreciate the tradition -- but also encourage Hoosiers to look after each other this weekend, and their out-of-town friends. You want the weekend to be memorable for the right reasons.

Consider these tips:

  • Don't ditch your friends. Sticking together throughout the night helps keep everyone safer and can keep you from having to find your way home by yourself.
  • Keep an eye on your out-of-town-friends. Most "visitors" to Sunday court are not IU students and often traveled here for the weekend. Show your out-of-town friends a good time but remind them there are consequences for excessive or under-age drinking.
  • Traffic may be crazy. When driving or crossing the street, keep in mind that traffic will be more congested and include many people who aren't familiar with Bloomington's streets.
  • Be mindful of your surroundings. Talking on your phone or listening to music while you walk could distract you from threats.
  • Look for exit signs. Know how to get out of a building in case of a fire or other emergency.
  • Get a ride. Don’t walk alone at night, especially in dimly lit areas.
  • Keep your phone charged. Small portable chargers can also double as flashlights.
  • Know your drinking limits. Don’t become so impaired that you can’t understand what’s going on around you or that you misinterpret someone else’s actions. 
  • Always watch your drink. Don’t give anyone the chance to put anything in it.
  • Hang out with people you trust. Associate with people who look out for each other and who make sure their friends get home safely.

Here is a link to IU Late Nite activities.

Our intern Wendi Cai discusses why Little 500 is more than a bike race.
