Introducing the 500 Festival Miler Series, presented by OrthoIndy – your ideal training series for the IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon! This three-race series (3-Miler, 6-Miler, and 10-Miler) is perfect for gauging your training progress, practicing race-day strategies (hydration, pacing, fueling), meeting fellow runners, and having fun while earning swag.
Everyone is Welcome! These races are designed to bring people together, foster a sense of accomplishment, work towards a goal, and experience the excitement of a race.

Registration Options
Participants are encouraged to register for the full Miler Series to maximize their race experience. For $75 online or $85 on race day, registering for the full series includes entry to all three events, along with a long-sleeved participant shirt and a finisher’s medal – benefits not available with individual race registrations. While individual race registration is an option, choosing the full series provides a better value and complete training journey. If a participant cannot attend one of the dates, they can participate virtually.
