The milestone 50th IU Health 500 Festival Mini-Marathon marks a cherished tradition for both participants and spectators.
Happening on Saturday, May 2, this landmark event — along with the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K — invites people of all fitness levels to participate in a memorable athletic experience taking place across Circle City. Whether you choose to walk, run, or wheel, everyone can share in the spirit of running camaraderie.
Runners will have the unique opportunity to cover a two-and-a-half-mile lap around the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway — a nod to the rich racing heritage of the area.
Participants can also look forward to lively entertainment along the racecourse to motivate and energize. The thrill of crossing the iconic finish line, coupled with epic race swag, makes this more than just a race. It’s an experience to remember.
Want to participate? Those eager to join can beat the price increase happening on Wednesday, April 8, by registering before 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday, April 7. We’ll see you at the start (and finish) line.
Demolition has begun for M22, a 127-apartment + commercial space development at the corner of 22nd and Meridian streets. The affordable housing project is backed by Indy Health District, which hopes to increase life expectancy + access to healthy food, childcare, education, and a livable wage in the neighborhood.

No. 43. That’s where Indy ranked on the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s list of the worst US cities for allergies, which factored in pollen scores, over-the-counter allergy medicine use, and availability of board-certified allergists and immunologists. Bless you.

Final Four is almost upon us, and we could insert a million basketball puns here to try and illustrate what a slam dunk this weekend will be. Instead, here’s a quick overview of a few official events and gatherings you won’t want to miss:
Fan Fest | Friday, April 3-Monday, April 6 | $10+ | Enjoy games, activities, basketball showcases, performances from your favorite “Looney Tunes” characters, and autograph signings with popular AEW wrestlers.
