OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Participant GuideMINI-MARATHON START INFORMATIONThe OneAmerica 500 FestivalMini-Marathon uses a wave start,creating a more efficient andenjoyable running and walkingexperience for participants. Thewave start breaks up participantsinto five separate groups, witfive corresponding starts. AllMini-Marathon participants willbe assigned a starting corraand corresponding wave. 5Kparticipants please see page 15Kfor 5 start and course information.Your bib number will include alarge single letter. This letter isyour assigned starting corral.Your starting corral assignment islocated on your confirmation email.Please see the Start Line map (above) to see where you will start. Please study this map for locations of GearCheck, portable toilets and pre-race medical. This starting order is based on each person’s race/walk status andpredicted finish time with the faster people in the front to the slowest in the back. All non-seeded corrals will havean equal number of participants assigned to the corral. It is possible that participants with the same estimatedfinish time will be assigned to different corrals. If there are more than the permitted number of participants withthe same estimated finish time, corral assignments will be made by date of receipt of your application (thosregistered first will be assigned ahead of those participants registered later). This method is designed to helpalleviate excessive passing and congestion throughout the course, making your race experience more enjoyable.If you wish to start with a family member or friend that is in another corral area, you may do so provided that youuse the slower of the two corrals. For example, if you have been assigned to start in corral F and your friend has beenassigned to start in corral G, you will both need to start in corral G, the slower of the two corrals. The person in theslower corral is NOT allowed to move into the faster corral. The 18-minute-per-mile pace–the minimum pace allowedin the race–will begin when the last participant crosses the start line.IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARRIVE EARLY ENOUGH TO FIND YOUR ASSIGNED CORRAL AREA. FOR THEMINI-MARATHON, PLEASE NOTE THE START TIMES ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE START; SEE PAGE 3 FOR THECOMPLETE SCHEDULE. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR INFORMATION IN YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAIL.

FRANCIS HEALTH RACE SUPPLIES Participants may pick up last-minute race supplies (bandages, Vaseline, etc.) at the Franciscan St. Francis Health tents located on Senate Avenue and Washington Street and at the northwest corner of West and Washington streets. BIB TIMING DEVICE At packet pick-up, you will receive your bib, which is also your timing device. Your time starts when you cross the start line and stops when you cross the finish line. As a result, the timing device tabulates your “net time,” the actual time it takes YOU to complete the course. • “Gun time” will be used to determine all cash award category winners, USAT&F masters categories, and 500 Club medal winners. The “net time” will be used to determine all age category winners. • Each bib will have a QR code that participants can scan with their smart phone to receive their official race results. WALKING GUIDELINES If you are WALKING in the Mini-Marathon please follow these simple guidelines in order to make your experience more enjoyable. • Walkers please stay to the right throughout the course. • Please start in your assigned corral – by doing so you will be walking with others at the same pace as you. Remember, the timing device does NOT start until you go over the starting mats at the start line; therefore, you don’t have to worry about how long it takes for you to get the start line once the event begins. • Do not attempt to move up to a faster corral as this will cause problems – anyone caught moving to a corral that they are not assigned will be asked to move to the last corral! • There is an 18-minute-per-mile cut-off pace that you will need to maintain during the event. This pace will not start until the last person has crossed the starting mats. • Please do NOT walk more than two abreast and remember to keep to the right side of the road through the course. RUNNER TRACKING The 500 Festival has developed a free app called IndyMini. Available for Apple and Andriod devices, IndyMini provides runner tracking, access to 500 Festival social media, spectator information and more. Users will see updates as runners cross the 5K (3.1 miles), Yard of Bricks, Mile 11 and the Finish Line. Be sure to download the IndyMini app from the Apple store or Android Market.10
