Both the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini Marathon and the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K will now be virtual.

According to WTHR, the decision was made  in order to keep participants, volunteers, staff and spectators safe. Organizers spoke with health officials and medical experts to make the decision.

Jen Pittman, OneAmerica vice president enterprise communications and community affairs said, “While a virtual race is different than an in-person race experience, the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon still allows us to share in the excitement of individual triumphs and be a part of a larger community celebration.”
