Fall Training Presented by New Balance + Indianapolis Trip

The Fall 2025 Full and Half Marathon trip will be to Indianapolis. The race is on Saturday, November 8th, 2025. The exciting news is that our training program for this destination race will be sponsored by New Balance! 

Here is how our “destination race” works. Everyone going to Indianapolis is responsible for the following:

• Your race registration
• Accommodation 
• Transportation to and from Indianapolis. 

One of the reasons we chose Indianapolis was that it is an easy straight drive of about 6 hours. Additionally, it has a half and full marathon that anyone can sign up for and run. It is also relatively affordable. 

Indianapolis is also a flat, fast, course and a great race whether you are trying to qualify for a major race or if it's your first race of a distance.

You can register for the race here: https://monumentalmarathon.com/   Hotel information is also on this site. There are many hotel and restaurant options very close to the starting line and expo. 

We will have a group dinner the night before the race and a party the following afternoon to celebrate all of our accomplishments. New Balance will be at both of these events. Being a Saturday race, most people will drive there on Thursday or Friday morning and stay until Sunday.

We encourage all members of the Fleet Feet running community to sign up and train with us during the summer and fall for Indianapolis or any fall race. Our plans are customizable and can be applied to any half or full marathon you run. (But we hope you can join us in Indy!)

All long runs on Sunday will be free but training program participants will be getting exclusive gear and special events with New Balance. There is also going to be a singlet from New Balance for our training program participants that you will want to have for race day and beyond. Please note that this is only going to be offered to participants of the training program.
