INDIANAPOLIS — The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Saturday will draw tens of thousands downtown Indianapolis to take part.

Thousands more will watch and cheer family and loved ones on during the race.

Here's what runners and spectators need to know to get ready and be there on race day:

500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo 

The festivities kick off on Thursday and Friday at the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo.

All Mini-Marathon and 5K participants will pick up their race-day materials at the event. Those materials include a bib/timing device, participant shirt, and gear check bag. Participants must stop by the OneAmerica booth and show their bib to receive their hat (while supplies last). NOTE: Packet pick-up is not available the morning of the race.

The Expo is located at the Indiana Convention Center, Hall A – which can be accessed from the entrance near Maryland Street and Missouri Street.

It is open May 4 from 4 - 8 p.m. and May 5 from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
