About the race
The Carmel Marathon Weekend in Carmel, Indiana, offers four races: Marathon, Half Marathon, Indiana Spine Group 10K, and Indiana Members Credit Union 5K. Known for fast, flat-to-rolling courses, the event uses a unique race-day format with all distances starting and finishing at the same area next to the Palladium Music Center. Runners in the marathon and half share the southern lanes while the 10K and 5K run in the northern lanes, separated by a grass median for about 300 yards to the first turn.
Highlights include USATF-certified Boston-qualifier status for the marathon, marathon/half pacers, free parking, a pancake village at the finish, a Beer Garden, and water every 1.5 miles, all in a spectator-friendly setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
