The Little 500 is known as the premier intramural collegiate cycling event in the nation. Celebrated in the Oscar-winner motion picture "Breaking Away," the Little 500 is one of the most unique events in the country. Teams of four ride laps around a quarter-mile cinder track and exchange their bike to a teammate once too tired to continue. The races have evolved into a competition that places fraternities and sororities, residence halls and independent teams in a battle for the ultimate bragging rights of Little 500 winner while raising scholarship dollars for working students.
