Carmel Marathon Weekend : April 18, 2026, Carmel, Indiana
The Carmel Marathon Weekend is a multi-distance road race event held in Carmel, Indiana. The event includes a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10K and a 5K, all staged around the City Center area.
The courses are described as flat to rolling and pass notable parts of Carmel. All race distances use the same official start and finish area next to the Palladium Music Center at the corner of 3rd Avenue and City Center Drive. Marathon and half marathon runners start together in the south two lanes while the 10K and 5K start in the north two lanes; the four lanes are separated by a grass median for about 300 yards until the first turn, where the courses diverge. The marathon course is USATF certified and listed as a Boston qualifier.
On-course support and event services include marathon and half marathon pacers, water and Gatorade approximately every 1.5 miles, free parking at the expo and start/finish area, gender-specific technical shirts, and custom finisher medals for each distance. The finish line area offers a recovery setup that features a pancake village. The official address for race activities is 200 City Center Dr., Carmel, IN 46032.
