Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Pace Calculator & Race Plan

The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon is a BQ favorite. The course is flat with only about 300 feet of total gain, running along Meridian Street through the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood and back. It is one of the fastest courses in the country for qualifying times.

November in Indianapolis means cool conditions, usually ideal for fast racing. The model focuses on fatigue management and weather impact, because on a course this flat, the difference between a PR and a blowup is pacing discipline.
