The only bad part about this race is parking. I always park at a school I worked at so it’s an easy walk for me. This race is what makes Indianapolis so great. Everyone is supportive. Running around the track with the excitement of the month of May is unbeatable. This is a must do race for anyone so make sure you put it down on your race bucket list

Very well managed race. Part of my review has to do with my performance. I was told this course was very flat by a friend. It is not. It is more rolling hills especially at the beginning. The course is pretty decent as far as scenery. You run through an industrial park at some point which isn't that great. The expo is small but it is a smaller marathon. They do a wonderful job with aid stations and the parking was easy. I wasn't a fan of the t-shirt design but did really enjoy the medal.

I did this race to raise money for my school. For every mile I ran it was another $25. I ended up getting 40 miles and 1000 dollars. The loops make it easy to keep track of your distance. This is definitely an all runner crowd. The hill at the end of each lap kicks your butt. You can bring as much nurishment as you want which makes getting through the run easy. You just do what you can. Loved it

Really enjoyed running this race. Fast course. Drove over from lansing Michigan to do this race the day before. Easy time getting to the expo for packet pick up. Well organized and easy course to follow. Enjoyed the atmosphere, the volunteers, the race entertainment and everything. I would definitely do this race again

This was my first marathon. I had a great time. The course was easy to follow. The run itself was nice. Very flat, one hill that you went up twice. The set up was great and the aid stations were great also. I would definitely do this race as a qualifier for Boston or just as a first marathon. The parking is a little difficult as the race has grown since I've been there. The management of the race was very well done. I was unable to really attend the expo so I couldn't tell you much about that.
