Countdown to the 2025 Indy Mini
IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon
Voted the #1 Half Marathon in USA Today 10Best two years in a row!
Indianapolis is a little obsessed with fast races and massive sporting events. This passion for speed and sport is why the Indy Mini is one of the nation’s largest half-marathons (and has been for 20+ years). It's also why Runner’s World named it one of America’s Most Iconic Races and BibRave awarded the Indy Mini Best Half Marathon in America for two consecutive years AND why it was named the #1 Half Marathon in USA Today 10Best!
Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K
3,000 runners and walkers will meet their fitness goals and have a lot of fun in the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K. The 5K race is held the same day as the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon and the course weaves throughout downtown Indianapolis. While the course is shorter, the experience of the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K is just as rich. The race uses the same start line and finish line as the #IndyMini, includes tons of entertainment along the route, and the incomparable Post Race Party.
500 Festival Miler Series,
presented by OrthoIndy
The 500 Festival Miler Series, presented by OrthoIndy, consists of three running and walking events offered at three unique distances, a 3-Miler, 6-Miler, and 10-Miler, that start and finish in downtown Indianapolis. The timing of the races coincide with a typical training program for a spring distance race, such as the IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. The Miler Series is the perfect opportunity to help you gauge your training progression, practice your race day strategy, meet a running partner, have fun, and earn some swag!
