There is a lot to say about this race, it's iconic. If you live in the Midwest you should probably come and do this, if you like Indy Car or NASCAR you should probably come and do this one. Running around the track is pretty surreal, while at the same time amazingly long and boring. By all means kiss the bricks but Please step to the side!! The start is planned to a t, but if you're slower you are going to be waiting a while to start. They make it fun though with beach balls and music. The first 3 miles are shoulder to shoulder, and even after that you're NEVER running alone. You see some pretty diverse parts of Indianapolis that you may not normally see. It's an amazing experience and I'd recommend anyone do it at least once, but if you don't like crowds and running in a herd you may only do it once.
