Want to save money on your 2018 Indy Mini registration? Of course you do. But it’s not always easy to understand how this whole price increase thing works. Bottom line: speed means savings. The faster you get your registration commitment in the books, the more you’re going to save.
A lot of people are on the fence when it comes to signing up early. You don’t know what your spring schedule will look like. Maybe you don’t know who will join you this year, or what kind of shape you’ll actually be in when it’s time to take on the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon.
Sometimes, you never know what price to expect when you do finally make the leap. And that’s why we’re here to help put the confusion to rest.
Plenty of runners and walkers hold off on the registration process until they feel more certain about their commitment. And that’s fine! Don’t RSVP to the party before checking your schedule. But if you’re free, grabbing your spot now could save you a lot of money in the long run. Just ask the nearly 10,000 participants who register a year in advance for the $60 rate! So find a partner – if that helps you commit sooner – or sign up for the 500 Festival 5K to get the same Mini-Marathon fun with fewer miles, and if you’re Mini-ready come May, you can upgrade!
The price increase schedule for 2018 looks like this:
| Date | Price |
| May 4 – May 11 | $60 |
| Sep. 18 – Oct. 31 | $65 |
| Nov. 1 – Dec. 31 | $72 |
| Jan. 1 – Feb. 28 | $79 |
| March 1 – Apr. 30 | $89 |
| Expo | $100 |
Committing now for $65 beats a late decision the week of the Mini for $100. And if you’re one of our Indiana residents who join every year anyway, why wait?!
The savings are even more rewarding if you’re conquering one of the challenges. For the Mega Mini and Mini Maniac challenges, signing up now could save you as much as $39! For The Greatest Spectacle Challenge, you could save up to $44!
The next price increase is November 1. Be sure to check out the challenges, find your running or walking partners and make those commitments by October 31 to save!
