Indianapolis Mini Marathon – The Winners
The Indianapolis Mini Marathon is stated to happen this weekend of Saturday from 6:00 to 9:00 am. This mini marathon featured an excellent battle among the Kenya and Ethiopia which is considered as a distance duel for international track across the country today.
The race started out with temps inside the low 40s with mainly cloudy skies. A couple of sprinkles are possible with wind gusts as much as 40mph. Apparently, Temperatures only rebound for the mid 50s Saturday, so it’s likely to be a cool run through downtown Indy.
