The half marathon is the primary race, but the hill segment adds difficulty. Separate awards are given for the fastest Youth, Open, and Masters runners on this climb. The race is organized by Beyond Monumental, a nonprofit focused on Indianapolis road racing, with proceeds benefiting youth health and well-being programs.

In a recent edition, participants came from over 30 states. The half marathon awards a cash purse to the top 20 finishers. The 10K and 5K races have podiums, and age-group awards are also presented. Runners receive free parking, complimentary food and beverages at the post-race gathering, and support for women-focused charities. The location is adjacent to shops and restaurants.

This event serves the community with a specific local purpose: all proceeds benefit veterans memorials in Huntington County. The organizing group is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3). Supported memorials include the Memorial Mile at Memorial Park. Participants can choose to race, walk, ride, donate, or volunteer, accommodating both those seeking a timed result and residents wishing to support local veterans.
CNO Financial Group Indianapolis Monumental Marathon
SAT NOV 7
The CNO Financial Group Indianapolis Monumental Marathon begins and ends in downtown Indianapolis, offering marathon, half marathon, and 5K races each autumn. The marathon is one of the 15 largest in the U.S. The logistics are straightforward for participants: hotels are located near the start and finish areas, and the airport is approximately 15 minutes from the city center. The USATF-certified courses are known for being fast and flat, attracting a diverse field of runners including first-time marathoners, half marathoners, those seeking personal bests, Boston Marathon hopefuls, and elite competitors. The course winds through downtown, historic areas, and past Indianapolis's monuments. Charity groups, such as Active Minds, utilize the event weekend to gather support for mental health advocacy focused on youth and young adults.
Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents - 11 of 50 Half Marathons in 50 States - Indiana
SAT NOV 7
The Indiana event for Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents begins at 18 North Capitol Avenue in Indianapolis. Participants can complete an in-person half marathon between morning and midnight Eastern Time. This is Run 11 of a 50-state half marathon series, with one half marathon held each month. The event also provides virtual 5K, 10K, and half marathon options, allowing supporters outside Indiana to participate by running, walking, or moving within their own communities. Virtual runners do not have a shared course; each participant selects a local route while supporting the same cause. Bob, the founder of Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter, runs the Indiana half marathon in person, while supporters nationwide participate remotely. The series aims to raise awareness about parental alienation, family court practices that separate children from a parent, and the lasting emotional, psychological, and developmental harm that can result. The core message is that children should have reasonable access to both parents, and family court decisions should prioritize the child's well-being.
Turkey Trails- Indianapolis
SUN NOV 8
Turkey Trails - Indianapolis is a Thanksgiving-themed trail race held at Washington Township Park in Avon, Indiana, west of Indianapolis. Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, plus an untimed 1-mile option and a kids dash for those 10 and under. This annual, family-friendly event is centered around the holiday season, encouraging costumes and offering youth pricing for the 5K and 10K. The routes are set within the park's natural terrain, offering a more relaxed trail outing compared to a large city road race. Runners receive chip timing, live results, awards, complimentary photos, a performance shirt, and a custom medal. The finish area provides post-run refreshments. The kids dash is free without the shirt-and-medal package, and a virtual option allows participation remotely while still receiving race merchandise.
Zionsville Half-Marathon & 5K
SAT NOV 21
The Zionsville Half-Marathon & 5K is a late-season road race held at Lions Club Park in downtown Zionsville, Indiana.

The course winds through downtown Zionsville and extends within the city limits, with routes certified by USATF.

About 5K races in Kokomo

Kokomo Training Notes

Kokomo hosts 65 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals get steady miles on the Peshewa Nature Trail, the Jackson Morrow Walk path, the Industrial Heritage Trail, the Nickel Plate Trail, and the Walk of Excellence Trail. Club Kokomo Roadrunners keeps the rhythm simple with Wednesday Night Group Run at Highland Park at 5:30 PM and Sunday Morning Group Run from Buckeye and Jackson at 8 AM. Highland Park works for intervals, Foster Park fits easy Z2, and Jackson Morrow Park shows up on race day. Norris Insurance - Kokomo 5K, Haynes Apperson 5K 2026, and David Bruce Race for the Record & Predict a Mile anchor the local calendar.

Break-Away Bicycle Club runs weekly group rides across the flats and through Howard County. Monday and Wednesday evenings hit western Howard County from First Christian Church, following Wildcat Creek and the New London and Russiaville area mini-climbs. Tuesday nights leave the North Kokomo Nickel Plate Trailhead for county roads northeast of Kokomo. Thursday rides tour eastern Howard County from Greentown Wesleyan Church, and Sunday rides keep it family-friendly on the multi-use trails network. The Thursday route covers 2 km with 228 m ascent.

April through October is prime riding season, and Break-Away Bicycle Club builds most of its weekly schedule around that window. May through July adds the Wednesday morning social ride from Greentown Wesleyan Church, which suits base miles and easy legs. Summer brings the SunStroke 74 ride and Sizzling Century, and locals mean it when they say a ride is traditionally very HOT, so bring plenty of water. Winter changes the mood for both sports, with runners leaning on familiar parks and trails while Tuesday rides are cancelled when it is raining or below 50°F.
