500 Festival mini-mini

The 2018 500 Festival mini-mini is the only kids run to take place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The mini-mini is a timed fun run designed specifically for kids and provides Indiana’s youth with an experience similar to the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon.

The mini-mini event begins at The Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Pagoda Plaza where participants attend packet pickup. Each child receives a goodie bag, a runner’s bib with a timing device, and a participant shirt.

Kids participating in the mini-mini will experience the larger-than-life fun of a 500 Festival running event – complete with course entertainment, cheering sections, and the coveted mini-mini medal. There are 5 running distances, ranging from .5 miles to 2.5 miles allowing participants ages 5-12 to select the race that best meets their age and ability. All races will finish at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s famed Yard of Bricks.

At the conclusion of their race, participants receive a finisher’s medal and the opportunity to go through runner’s services after finishing their race.

Boys and girls, start your engines!
