Recently named the #1 Best Half Marathon in USA TODAY’S 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards and one of “America’s Most Iconic Races” by Runners World, the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon is one of the nation’s largest half marathons.  

The Mini-Marathon has become an iconic tradition, led by Hoosiers and embraced by the global running community. Known as The Greatest Spectacle in Running, the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon has become a pinnacle event for family and friends to participate in year after year.  

The Mini-Marathon starts and finishes in downtown Indianapolis and includes a lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500.

The flat and fast course is uniquely enhanced with 15-course aid stations, over 50 entertainment acts, and thousands of community volunteers, all cheering participants to the finish line.
