Marathon de Carmel

Carmel Marathon takes place in Carmel, Indiana, in Hamilton County, on Saturday, April 17, 2027. Four road distances are on the program: a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K and a 5K. All four are run on the roads, which makes this a straightforward event to plan around whether you are targeting a time or simply want a spring race on the calendar.

Road marathons in the Midwest in mid-April are popular with runners chasing qualifying times, and the format here supports that: pick the full for a goal race, the half if you want a hard effort without a 20-mile long run, or the 10K and 5K for a shorter, sharper test. A marathon build of about 16 weeks starting in late December fits this date, with the half taking closer to 12 weeks.
