500 Festival mini-mini

Indiana’s youngest runners take over the world’s largest sporting venue at the 500 Festival mini-mini! The 500 Festival mini-mini (#Indyminimini) is the first and only youth run to take place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Designed specifically for kids, the 500 Festival mini-mini provides Indiana’s youth with an “Indy Mini” experience sized just for them.

The 2nd annual 500 Festival mini-mini will take place on Sunday, September 17. It is open to children ages 5 – 12. Five different race distances will be offered, ranging from half a mile to 2.5 miles, allowing participants to select the race that best meets their age and ability. All participants will finish at the famed Yard of Bricks.Kids participating in the mini-mini will experience the larger-than-life fun of a 500 Festival running event – complete with course entertainment, massive cheering sections, participant timing and the coveted mini-mini medal.

All participants will attend packet pickup, hosted at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Pagoda Plaza, before their race. Participants will receive a goodie bag, a runner’s bib with a timing device, and a participant shirt. At the conclusion of their race, participants will receive a finisher’s medal and the opportunity to go through runner’s services – just like the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon participants.
