Indy 500 Festival

The 11th annual Bank One 500 Festival Rookie Run is a non-competitive fun run for kids, ages 3-12, where everyone goes away a winner. The Rookie Run, which compliments the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon, is a great way for kids to enjoy physical activity. All participants will receive a goodie bag and a finishers medal – just like the Mini-Marathon participants. Before and after your race, enjoy all the fun, food and excitement at Bank One 500 FestivalKids’ Day. Don’t miss your chance to win one of more than 10,000 prizes by racing Mini Cars, making arts and crafts, or participating in interactive games and activities. Kids’ Day runs from 12:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m on Sunday, May 15.

Play with favorite character mascots including Hello Kitty® and VeggieTales® hosts Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, and many more! See an amazing (and huge!) LEGO® replica of the entire Speedway. Enjoy live music, entertainment and video games! Plus, admission to Community Day includes a ticket to the Indianapolis 500 Hall of Fame museum.
