The 2026 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon is a flat, fast late-season BQ and PR factory through downtown Indy, with a city loop course starting and finishing downtown near the Indiana State Capitol and Indiana State Museum, passing Monument Circle, North Meridian Street, and historic neighborhoods. It has a 7-hour time limit and is USATF-certified.

Why attend here

November in Indianapolis brings crisp, clear days perfect for a city-loop 42k shaded by golden leaves. You'll pass the iconic Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument, then wind through historic neighborhoods like Fall Creek Place and Butler-Tarkington, with a stretch by Butler University and the Indianapolis Museum of Art grounds. After the race, warm up with a bowl of pork tenderloin sandwich or a craft beer from a downtown brewery, and explore the Indiana State Museum just steps from the finish.
