2020 Monumental Marathon goes virtual, will skip in-person race
The CNO Financial Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis will go virtual this year, organizers announced Friday.
The marathon, which organizers say is one of the largest in the United States, typically attracts runners from all 50 states and over 25 countries, according to a news release.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the November event will now be all virtual. Organizers said they worked with city officials and medical providers to come to the decision.
"Beyond Monumental is fortunate to have a significant support system in place, and we feel a deep responsibility to keep everyone involved as safe and healthy as possible," the new release states.
Registrants have the option of going virtual, deferring to 2021 or donating their entry to the Monumental Kids Movement.
Organizers are still reviewing in-person options for the Indy Half Marathon at Fort Ben scheduled for Oct. 3.
