GIVEAWAY: Win 2 Tickets to The 500 Festival Rookie Run

The 500 Festival Rookie Run returns on Saturday, May 9 from 11 AM–2 PM at Monument Circle in Indianapolis, offering a structured, race-day experience designed specifically for kids ages 3–10. Presented by Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, the event gives young participants a chance to take part in their own version of race day, complete with a start and finish line, cheering sections, and official race elements like a bib and finisher medal.

Part of the larger 500 Festival Kids’ Day, the Rookie Run is designed to be accessible and family-friendly, combining physical activity with the energy and atmosphere of a downtown event. Kids can participate at their own pace in a supportive environment, while families can take advantage of the surrounding Kids’ Day activities happening throughout Monument Circle. It’s a well-organized introduction to race culture for younger participants and a straightforward way to be part of one of Indianapolis’ signature spring traditions.
