There are officially 92 days until the 2011 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon which occurs this year on May 7, 2011.
This year marks the 35th year of the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon and it's important to know that the Mini has sold-out for the past nine years with 35,000 registrants, and an additional 4,000 participants in the Finish Line 500 Festival 5K.
The 500 Festival Mini-Marathon is the largest half-marathon in the USA and the seventh largest running event in America.
Since the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo takes place on Thursday and Friday, before the half-marathon at the Indiana Convention Center, then you definitely want to find hotels near Indianapolis Convention Center - so you have a convenient place to stay. After all, all participants pick up their race packets at the convention center. While there, you can also visit the booths of all the different vendors at the Expo.
No doubt downtown Indy hotels will be packed because following the Mini-Marathon and 5K races, the participants, along with their family and friends gather at the 500 Festival Post Race Party at Military Park in downtown Indianapolis. The event includes live music, great food, fun drinks from the Beer Garden, race merchandise shopping and more!
