  • Comments: This was the first year of the Monumental Marathon (there's another Indianapolis marathon away from the city center). Overall they did a great job with organization. There were ~ 20 aid stations all stocked well and the course was very nice. No pre-race expo, but I'm perfectly fine with that.

  • Comments: This is one of the best half marathons I have ever done. Well organized, lot's of fluid stops, nice course with plenty of help. After the split of the marathoners and halver's, the course was wide open. This is way better than the Indy Mini and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about doing either the half or the full marathon. One suggestion would be for the organizers to put signs on poles in the staging area for mile paces so people can line up better according to pace. There was a couple pacers holding signs for marathon finishing times, but mile pace signs at the staging areas would help and would be applicable to both the half and full marathoners. And extra reminders for walkers to stage in the rear. In the first two miles I was kind of surprised how many walkers were out in front of me.
