All month long, our team has been hitting the road to bring the ultimate Mobile Run experience straight to schools across Indiana! 🏁🚌🏃‍♂️

We love traveling all around the state to celebrate the K-6 students who completed the 500 Festival KidsFit program this spring.

These students used our Indy 500-themed lessons to run or walk a mile each week, working their way up to a full 13.1 miles — the equivalent of a half-marathon, just like the ! 🏅

As a special celebration event, the Mobile Run is the perfect culmination of the program.

Our team brings a full-scale race experience right to their school — complete with official race decor and that final sprint across the finish line — to celebrate their hard work and healthy habits.
