(CNO) Indianapolis Monumental Marathon

Indianapolis Monumental Marathon

A flagship event in the American Midwest, the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon charts its course through the heart of Indiana’s capital. Starting in front of the State Capitol, the field sets off on an urban loop that winds through the city, from historic neighborhoods to cultural districts.

The route stands out for its flat profile—ideal for chasing a PR or aiming for a Boston Marathon qualifying time. The 42.195-kilometer course passes key landmarks such as the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Cheered on by spectators along the streets, the event offers several formats: the marathon, the half marathon and the 5K.
