Ready to beat the July heat? Have you got what it takes?
Join many other festive runners this July in downtown Indianapolis starting at the White River Park for the annual Christmas in July Half Marathon and 5K! Hit the paths of White River State Park for a super-fun and festive course with the start and finish at the Washington Street bridge. The Half Marathon route is about 60% shaded for an awesome 13.1 miles in July.
This is a live, in-person event. Please read our statement and guidance regarding Covid-19 virus.
Your Choice: Half-Marathon or 5K
Not feeling up to a half-marathon, then choose the 5K option and you can still join in on our Christmas-In-July party.
Other registration options include walking or running a virtual half-marathon or 5k on your own at the location of your choice if you are unable to participate on race day. You still get a shirt, bib and medal. We will mail your packet out to you after the event.
