Sam Costa Half and Quarter Marathons
The Sam Costa Half and Quarter Marathons take place on March 20, 2027 in Carmel, Indiana. The races are organized by Indy Runners and Walkers and are presented as the 56th annual edition of an event that was established in 1970 and is described as the oldest race in Indiana.
Both races start and finish in the church parking lot at Northview Church, 12900 Hazel Dell Parkway, Carmel IN 46033. The courses were updated in 2024 to improve safety and reduce the number of turns and are expected to remain the same.
