Race Info
The races use the same start and finish lines and include tons of entertainment along the route. 11 water stations and 5 Gatorade endurance formula stations (known as pit stations) are located throughout the course.
The 5K course weaves throughout downtown Indianapolis. While the course is shorter, the experience of the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K is just as rich.
After the race, athletes can enjoy a free post-race party featuring a free entertainment stage, a free massage and a bottle of chocolate milk at the American Dairy Association Refuel and Rejuvenation Area, the Family Reunion Area.
