FAQs
What is the Indy Ultimate?
The Indy Ultimate is an urban adventure event in Downtown Indianapolis.  Participants will run or walk a route that travels in and out of venues, including Carroll Stadium, Victory Field, Lucas Oil Stadium, Bankers Life Fieldhouse and the Indiana State Museum.  Each venue will feature a themed challenge that participants may choose to attempt (such as kicking a field goal at Lucas Oil stadium).  In addition to the venues, the route will run over and around several Indianapolis landmarks such as the White River State Park, the Indiana War Memorial and the Canal Walk.  Participants will go up and down steps at certain points along the way, especially at the Indiana War Memorial.  Obstacles will also be set up along the route, specifically in the American Legion Mall.   The route is approximately 6 miles.  More about specific obstacles and challenges will be disclosed throughout the lead up to the event.
When is the Indy Ultimate and what time does the event start?
The event will take place on Saturday, April 30 and will start at 8 a.m. with waves of approximately 75 participants running every 5 minutes.
Is there a winner?
Participants will have the option to be timed; however, we will not recognize a “winner”.  The Indy Ultimate is about experiencing Downtown Indy as you’ve never seen it before.   For some that might mean racing to the finish line as fast as possible, others might have a more leisurely approach.  No matter how you tackle it, the Indy Ultimate will be an experience you’ll never forget.
How is the event timed?
The Indy ultimate will be timed using competition timing chips.  Your race time will begin once you cross the start line, and will stop once you cross the finish. 
Will there be awards?
There is no better reward than telling your friends you were able to #ConquerIndy, and you can do so by wearing your participant shirt.  Finishers will also receive a medal for being the first conquerors of Indy Ultimate. Additional prizes such as “Best Race Day Selfie” will be awarded.  
Do I have to be in great shape to participate?
This event is open to anyone, 12 and older, who can run or walk 6 miles at an 18-minute pace or faster.  While some obstacles may be physically demanding, participants may bypass any challenges they aren’t comfortable completing.  Course marshals along the route reserve the right to remove participants from an obstacle if their participation is deemed unsafe.  Participants may run or walk the event.
What if I skip an activity?
You may skip any obstacle or challenge.  You will, however, only receive one attempt per obstacle or challenge to keep the event flowing. 
What if I can’t complete the course?
The Indy Ultimate will have course marshals and medical professionals who can get you back to the starting area.  All event personnel reserve the right to remove participants from the race if they are deemed unable to finish.
What do participants receive after the race is over?
Pride.  Glorious Pride.  And bragging rights that you conquered Indy.  You will also receive an awesome commemorative finisher’s memento and entry to a post-race party featuring live music, complimentary fruit, water, recovery drinks, Red Bull and beer. 
Is there a team competition?
There is no team entry, but once you cross the finish line you will join one of the most elite teams in the city:  the Inaugural Indy Ultimate Finishers.  Helping your fellow racer get over the obstacles or push through for the final mile is encouraged, but make no mistake, you control your own destiny to reach the finish line.  If you’d like to participate with a group, register in the same wave.  If you need assistance registering your group, contact <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="mailto:Ultimate@IndianaSportsCorp.org" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ultimate@IndianaSportsCorp.org</A>.
