Ambassadors for the 2018 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon have been selected! A record number of individuals applied to be Indy Mini Ambassadors in the month of October. The 500 Festival has selected 42 individuals to serve as Ambassadors for this year’s race; one for each year of the 42-year history of the Mini.
This year’s Ambassadors have a wide range of stories and personal connections to the Mini-Marathon. From a middle school cross country runner and a pair of college students, to a high school phys. ed. teacher and some passionate walkers, we can’t wait to share stories about this year’s group!
