🌟 The largest women-only Half Marathon event in Indiana
Enjoy the fall colors in Carmel by joining us in one of the three distances offered: half marathon, 10K and 5K. The half marathon is one of the ten largest, female-only half marathons in the US. To show our support for women's sports, it is the ONLY women's half marathon that pays a top-20 cash purse. Known for its big race feel with small town hospitality, the event offers:
- Competitive fields: Attracting ladies from all over the US!
- Top-3 age group awards: Available in all distances.
- Beautiful courses: A scenic route featuring shade, parks, ponds, and trees.
- Electric atmosphere: 34 states were represented in 2025.
Women encouraging and supporting women makes it a special day. Toeing the line with friends and family, participating for themselves or others. The wonderful post-race area party in Civic Square offers more than most larger marathon events including:
- Free food: Enjoy tasty treats post-race!
- Adult beverages: Celebrate with refreshments.
- Free parking: Available at the Expo and on race day!
- Accessibility: Within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and more!
