Mini Marathon Training

Start off the year by challenging yourself to run or walk the Indy Mini Marathon.  Find community and encouragement to take care of your body, mind and soul.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

Weekly group run and walk training on Wednesday evenings. Training schedules are designed for your level of training. We offer run, walk and run/walk groups at a variety of paces, so that there is a pace group for everyone! Educational presentations covering essential information, pre-race pasta banquet, and sweatshirt are all included. This training program DOES NOT include entry registration fees into any half-marathons.  Planning to do the 2026 Mini Marathon?  We suggest you sign up early since this is the 50th Anniversary and may sell out.  500 Festival Running Events

If you are training for a half marathon, it's important to come into the program with a 2-3 mile base to reduce your chance of injury when transitioning into more mileage.
