The Indy Classic Marathon, Half-Marathon and 5-K debuts on Saturday, September 8, and the event will have a decidedly military emphasis. Organizers announced that the inaugural race “is dedicated to all active and reserve military personnel and to fallen military personnel who have lost their lives defending our country since September 11, 2001, and their families.”
The course through downtown Indianapolis and outlying areas will take in the Soldiers & Sailors Monument on the Circle, the scenic over hanging trees along Meridian Street, and the prestigious American Legion Mall bordered by the World War Memorial at the finish line.
Military personnel will also receive a 50% discount on the entry fee.
For elite runners, there will be a prize money purse paid 10-deep in the marathon, from $5000 to $300, and three-deep in the half-marathon, from $1000 to $300. There will also be masters prize money in the marathon paid five-deep from $3000 to $200.
