THE RESULTS ARE IN…

The BibRave 100 has been released, and the results are in! The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon has been named the:

#1 HALF MARATHON IN THE NATION OF THE DECADE 🎉

 

The Indy Mini was also listed among the races with Best Medals & Swag over the past decade. Additionally, the Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K was listed as one of the Best Races of the Decade in the 10 Miles or Less category.  

 

“We are thrilled that the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon has been voted as the Best Half Marathon of the Decade,” said Bob Bryant, president, and CEO of the 500 Festival. “Like so many other races, we made the decision to cancel the in-person component of our 2020 Indy Mini due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After making such a difficult decision, we received an outpouring of support from our participants. Knowing that they nominated us for these awards makes it all the more meaningful.”  

 

The BibRave 100 is an annually published list of America’s best races. Rankings are determined based upon runner nominations, surveys from the running industry, and online voting.  

THANK YOU!

 We cannot thank our participants enough for nominating the Indy Mini and 5K for these awards and for entering their votes. We promise to do everything we can to make the next decade just as memorable for our Indy Mini and 5K participants!

The official 2021 Virtual 500 Festival Miler Series, presented by OrthoIndy, participant shirt and medal are HERE! If you’ve been waiting to see the swag for the 2021 #IndyMilers, then wait no more.

The 2021 Podium Finisher Medal

The 2021 Podium Finisher medal features three images in the center that truly capture the Racing Capital of the World – the flag of Indiana overlaid on the famed Yard of Bricks, the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway Pagoda, and you guessed it, good ole fashion Hoosier corn!

The numbers 3, 6, and 10 seated at the top of the medal represent each of the three race distances that participants conquer during the Virtual 500 Festival Miler Series, presented by OrthoIndy.

Pulling the unique maroon and iconic Indiana design altogether is the ribbon of the medal. The ribbon features the official virtual event title, the race distances completed, and the proud accomplishment of the title, “Podium Finisher.”

The 2021 Podium Finisher Technical Shirt

This year’s shirt is a long-sleeved crewneck made of maroon soft technical material, the same material from the beloved red #IndyMini participant shirt from the 2018 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon! The front of the shirt compliments the design of the medal: the numbers 3, 6, and 10, which represent each race distance in their respective order. Below the large white and grey numbers is, “500 Festival Miler Series, presented by OrthoIndy” – the official event title.

The back design also features the proud accomplishment of “2021 Podium Finisher,” but this time it is overlaid on Indiana’s iconic state shape.  Beneath that are our partner logos: OrthoIndy, the NCAA Hall of Champions, and Clif. Right beneath the collar is the event logo.
