Indianapolis Monumental Marathon

Beginning just after the Anti-Mini (and other Mini) weekend, a group of runners wishing to run in the inaugural Indianapolis Monumental Marathon scheduled to be run on Saturday, November 1, 2008 will begin training for that race.  I am forming a team of interested runners, some marathon veterans, some looking to run in their first marathon.  The team will be sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of Zionsville.  Our entry into the race and team dri-fit long sleeve tee-shirts will be provided by our sponsor.  In exchange, we will help raise money for the club.  Check back at this site for more information as I get it.

The course looks to be flat and fast and a good cross-section of what Indianapolis is about.  Please take a look at their website at:

For those who are interested, I will put together an individualized training program to help anyone who wishes my assistance in completing this marathon.  There are about 15 people who have already indicated that they are interested.  There is no upper limit on how many people we can include.  We will have a full 6 months to train after already completing our 13.1 miles on May 3.  Most of our training will be done individually (although there may be some small groups who are near equal speed and distance doing long runs together), but in the fall we may try one or two group runs.  We are also planning perhaps a dinner or some kind of kickoff prior to the race.  Again, plans are just beginning and I will have more information later.
