Mini-Marathon Course Entertainment

Perform for a Crowd of 35,000!

The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon is one of the nation’s largest half marathons. Known as The Greatest Spectacle in Running, the Indy Mini features 100 of the best entertainment groups and spirit squads lining the course. Selected entertainment acts will perform for 40,000 participants, volunteers, and spectators on the day of the Indy Mini.

The quantity and quality of entertainment lining the route have led to the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon often called the largest four-hour music festival, anywhere. From rock bands to cloggers, from gospel choirs to Indy’s best DJs, #IndyMini participants cite course entertainment as one of the top reasons they return to the race year after year.
