My family has made this race a yearly tradition! I have personally participate for the last three years. It's a great race but be ready for constant congestion. The course goes through some not so scenic neighborhoods, however, it is neat to run on the Indy 500 track. As a Hoosier and non-NASCAR fan, I would probably never be on the track other than this race but I feel like it is a must-see. There is frequent live music and a lot of aid stations, which was definitely a plus! The spectators are wonderful and there is usually a large pack around every corner! The Expo is better than most and is definitely worth going. The long sleeve shirts from last year were a bit short in the arms but other than that, very comfy and pretty stylish! The free hats are always nice and come in handy during those bright summer days!
