The 19th annual CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon is scheduled for November 7, 2026, following an earliest-ever sellout in event history.
Participants will hail from all 50 U.S. states and over 35 countries, marking the 14th consecutive year the event has sold out.
CNO Financial Group serves as the title sponsor through 2028, with over 300 associates and guests participating or volunteering during the weekend.
The Monumental Health & Fitness Expo will take place on November 5 and 6 at the Indiana Convention Center, featuring over 50 vendors and official merchandise.
Race distances include the marathon, half marathon, and 5K, showcasing Indianapolis landmarks with courses designed for elite competition and Olympic Trials qualification.
Special guest Emma Grace Hurley, a local record holder and recent American debut record holder at the Chicago Marathon, will attend expo events and race-day celebrations.
All three race distances are officially sold out with waitlists now closed, though community members can still engage through volunteering or spectating.
Beyond Monumental, the 501(c)(3) non-profit behind the event, has donated over $1.7 million since inception to support youth programming in Indianapolis Public Schools.
