My ONLY disappointment in this year's Indy Mini is The Clueless Participant. The last time I ran this race was 10 years ago. The first several years the corrals were closely monitored. It is a HUGE race and great energy at the Start Line. People checked your bib to ensure you were in the correct corral. I don't think this was the case this year! Running culture in Indy hasn't advanced enough for slower people to move to the Right, signal when they are reducing their pace, and not walk 5 abreast slowly on a race course.

My good news? The course is flat, great support, entertainment & you make a lap of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), that is just so neat! Seriously, wave at the clogging/ tap dancing ladies before you get to Speedway- they have been out there for years!

The Expo is HUGE and great! It IS what expos used to be, don't miss it!
