IU Health Five Hundred Festival Mini-Marathon Unveils Innovative Pacing Flag System for 2026 Event
The IU Health Five Hundred Festival Mini-Marathon is introducing a groundbreaking pacing flag system for its 2026 event, making it the first race in the US to adopt this setup. The system, developed by Elevated Pacing and Running in collaboration with Black Hills Running Company, features lightweight harnesses for pacers that hold flags and poles steady, allowing them to focus on leading the pack without gear. This upgrade aims to enhance visibility and comfort for over 20,000 runners, support pacers better during the full 13.1 miles, and make it easier for spectators to track loved ones. The 2026 Mini-Marathon is scheduled for May 2nd, positioning the event as a leader in runner-friendly innovations.
