- You'll use one of two training programs 13.1: Run/Walk or 13.1: Run
- For 13.1: Run/Walk program: No running or race experience is required, but good general fitness—and a lack of injuries—is definitely necessary. The run/walk segments start with 2 minutes of running, 4 minutes of walking, so you should be able to run easy for several minutes.
- For the Run program: The ability to currently finish a 6-mile easy run. (Experience in shorter races is helpful but not mandatory.) Also, a injury-free body—or on your way to being injury free.
- You are excited to have a running mentor to guide you and a full team to support you.
- You have run at least one half marathon in the last six months, and have run at least 3 half marathons in the past two years.
- You are injury free.
- You have the time and energy to mentor a runner, and plan on being in Indianapolis on race day.
