The 34th Running of the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon takes place on Saturday, May 8, 2010. The Mini has sold-out for the past seven years, with 35,000 registrants in 2009, and an additional 4,000 participants in the Finish Line 500 Festival 5K. The Mini-Marathon is the largest half-marathon in the U.S., and overall, the fifth largest running event in America. The 2009 event sold out on December 26, 2008.

The 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo, presented by AT&T takes place on Thursday and Friday, before the half-marathon at the Indiana Convention Center.

On Friday evening, participants can attend the Mini-Marinarathon, presented by Marsh and enjoy camaraderie with other participants and guest appearances by running celebrities.

Following the Mini-Marathon and 5K races, the participants, along with their family and friends which reaches nearly 90,000 people, gather in the Post Race Party at Military Park in downtown Indianapolis. Participants have the chance to relax and receive food and drinks, while enjoying post-race entertainment.
