Headphone Ban
The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon asks that participants do not wear headphones in the interest of safety. In case of an emergency, 500 Festival officials will need to communicate with participants. This includes iPods.
This does not mean you will be without music. The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon is one of the largest four-hour music festivals in the nation. Over 100 live bands, cheer groups, DJs, and dance troupes will be on hand to cheer the 35,000 runners and walkers to the finish line.
Promotional Registration Information
The Mini-Marathon uses a corral system for a more efficient and organized race start. Please be honest with the assessment of your ability, as you will be placed in a corral based on your run/racewalk/walk status and your estimated finish time. You can use the pace calculator at the top of this page to find your estimated finish time. As a reference, most walkers complete the Mini-Marathon between 3:15 and 4:00. This corral method is designed to help alleviate passing and congestion throughout the course making your race experience more enjoyable. The Mini-Marathon has a time limit of 4 hours (18 minute per mile pace). Participants must be able to maintain the 18 minute per mile pace or they will be required to board the trail bus. This limit allows our volunteers to clean and clear the course prior to the streets being open to traffic. Our Back of the Pack crew will be out to mark the time limit and encourage all the participants to keep going! The 18 minute per mile time limit begins when the last participant crosses the start line (which will be about 30 minutes after the starting gun). The Finish Line 500 Festival 5K will carry a 56-minute time limit for completion.
