Frequently Asked Questions

DO I NEED TO SIGN UP FOR INDYTHON SEPARATELY TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE INDYTHON AWARD?

No, you can either register for INDYTHON and all included races in one combined registration, or you can register for each race individually.

As long as you sign up for and finish all races in the INDYTHON race series, you’ll automatically be eligible to pick up your INDYTHON award after finishing your respective distance at the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, Half Marathon, & 5K.

WHAT IF I DIDN'T REGISTER FOR ALL RACES AT ONCE THROUGH INDYTHON?

Your registrations must be under all the same name, email address, and other participant information to be automatically recognized as INDYTHON.

Once you finish all races in the INDYTHON series, you’ll be able to pick up your INDYTHON award after finishing your respective distance at the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, Half Marathon, & 5K.

*Miles completed virtually as part of the MIAM program do not count toward Indython miles.
