Thousands more will watch and cheer family and loved ones on during the race.

500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo
The festivities kick off on Thursday, May 2 and Friday, May 3 at the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo.
All Mini-Marathon and 5K participants will pick up their race-day materials at the event. Those materials include a bib/timing device, participant shirt, and gear check bag. Participants must have their bib number (found in the April confirmation email) to receive a packet. NOTE: Packet pick-up is not available the morning of the race.
You must have a photo ID to look up your bib number at the Expo. You may pick up a packet for a friend if you have their bib number and a copy of their photo ID.
The Expo is located at the Indiana Convention Center, Hall A – which can be accessed from the entrance near Maryland and Missouri streets.
