Event Overview

The Fort Wayne Half and Full Marathon takes place in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This event, organized by Ruble Triathlon, enters its fourth year and utilizes a course that starts and finishes at the Memorial Coliseum. The event provides a choice between two main long-distance running categories:

  • Marathon (42.195 km)
  • Half Marathon (21.1 km)

The route is designed as a flat and fast course. Participants run through the downtown area before transitioning onto the local network of paved trails. The course is marked and supported throughout. The organizers intend to have the marathon course Boston Qualifier certified, following the practice of previous years.

Location and Infrastructure

The race is centered at the Memorial Coliseum, located at 4000 Parnell Ave in Fort Wayne. This venue serves as the primary hub for both the start and the conclusion of the races. The paved trail system used during the event is an expanding part of the city's infrastructure, providing a dedicated surface for runners away from standard vehicle traffic in certain sections.
