Race Information
Participants run or walk 3.1 miles on a course that weaves throughout downtown Indianapolis. Named one of America's Best 5K races, the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K takes place prior to the IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon.
While the mileage is shorter than the Mini-Marathon, 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 Mini-Marathon, it includes tons of entertainment along the route, and the incomparable Post Race Party, featuring live entertainment and high fives galore.
