Introducing the 500 Festival Miler Series, presented by OrthoIndy – your ideal training series for the IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon! This three-race series (3-Miler, 6-Miler, and 10-Miler) is perfect for gauging your training progress, practicing race-day strategies (hydration, pacing, fueling), meeting fellow runners, and having fun while earning swag.

Everyone is Welcome! These races are designed to bring people together, fostering a sense of accomplishment, working towards a goal, and experiencing the excitement of a race. You don't need to be registered for the Mini-Marathon to participate. Whether you're preparing for a race or just looking to stay active and achieve your fitness goals, these events are for you.

Location

Each race will start and finish at Fowling Warehouse Indianapolis, where participants can enjoy pre-race activities such as packet pickup, gear check, and sponsor booths. The venue offers a great atmosphere for warming up, stretching, and post-race celebrations. Free parking is available on-site, and participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy the post-race activities at Fowling Warehouse!

Registration Options

Participants are encouraged to register for the full Miler Series to maximize their race experience. For $75 online or $85 on race day, registering for the full series includes entry to all three events, along with a long-sleeved participant shirt and a finisher’s medal – benefits not available with individual race registrations. Individual race registration is an option, choosing the full series provides a better value and complete training journey. If a participant cannot attend one of the dates, they can participate virtually.
