In its inaugural year, the Indianapolis Monumental Mile is introduced as an early summer fitness test and a launching point for your fall training. Designed for fast performances, the course is flat with no turns and is on the final portion of both the Monumental Marathon and Half Marathon courses. For the experienced runner, it's your chance to eclipse your high school bests. The race is also created for beginners - with the free training plans to follow, if you can run a mile on Thursday, June 5, you can reach your goal at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon on Saturday, November 1.
