    Ever since this place took over new owner/management it has been a great place for a relaxing, fun, inexpensive family night.

    I love the Saturday night racing at the Indianapolis Speedrome, especially the figure 8 races.

    There is just so much excitement in this kind of racing because you get to see a lot of wrecks.

    I feel like I'm at Gainbridge for some kind of cool event just about every other month now, because…read morethey have tons of cool stuff going on. Between the basketball games (Yes Cers! Fever Rising!) and other shows, there's always something going on and I have a great time with it. There's a lot of options for food and I've always had my food come out quickly. The Fieldhouse Favorites will cover your bases on the classics. Ben's Pretzels offers carbs galore. A recent fave of mine is The Shake Bar, a Steak 'n Shake brand that specializes in luscious, over-the-top milkshakes. I love to get the Oreo shake as a treat for my game or showtime experience. Some other tidbits - you're allowed to bring in a clear water bottle that's either factory sealed, or an empty reusable to fill up at a fountain. Another alternative is the DD program, where you can get a free soda with a voucher from guest services. You can't purchase any alcohol after that point because you get a wristband that would indicate as such. But if you're looking to stay sober for the evening, this is a great perk!

    Absolutely unacceptable experience tonight at the Heat vs Pacers game. My sister and I were simply…read moretrying to move down a row to get Bam's autograph--something fans do all the time--and instead of handling it calmly or professionally, an usher immediately escalated the situation and put her hands on my sister. There was zero need for physical contact. No warning, no attempt to de-escalate, just straight to being aggressive. It completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun night. We paid good money to be there and ended up feeling disrespected and honestly shocked. And to make it worse, it already kind of sucks being Pacers fans all season during a rough year--then when the team we're actually excited to see comes to town, we get treated like trash by arena staff. That's not how you treat paying fans. Security and staff are supposed to ensure safety--not create uncomfortable or hostile situations. This was handled in the worst possible way, and it reflects terribly on the arena and its staff. Do better.

    The CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon became my excuse to return to Indianapolis…read moreIndiana in the fall. As part of the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, the Half Marathon in my opinion is the perfect option if you do not have the desire to run the Marathon which I did not have after having ran Bank of America Chicago Marathon last month. I have always had an interest in running this event, being that I have family that lives in the city of Indianapolis. And other than that, running it gives me the chance to explore the city the best way I know how in the form of running. For the Monumental Health & Fitness Expo and Packet Pickup, we were required to pick up our bib number and t-shirt from the Indiana Convention Center. Though it isn't as big as Chicago Marathon Health & Fitness Expo and Packet Pickup, it has just enough vendors that will keep you there on-site looking around and purchasing, tehehe. The Health & Fitness Expo and Packet Pickup gave me the chance to explore run events that will capture my interest to travel around America. Most of the run events I picked up brochures for were in surrounding states ranging from Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Missouri. Some of the events I have participated in before and some I have had an interest in for years now. With this being my first year participating in CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon, I had to navigate to get to the start, but once I got near the starting line, the signage further guided me. I was part of wave D, but I did not complain because I knew once the run started I would weave my way through the congestion of runners to obtain my actual pace and eventually finishing time. The run course was relatively flat, with an incline feel at times. The battle I dealt with mentally was telling myself to keep my pace underneath a 9:30-minute mile pace, even with an uneasy feeling in my right hamstring which was likely due to my bike ride the previous evening. My legs felt tired around mile 8, but I was able to keep my pace in check and not fall beyond a 9:00-minute mile pace. I had to remind myself to be patient and take it mile by mile because I will eventually get to that finish line at some point. In spite of my mental and physical struggles, I felt grateful to be part of this growing event which was established by Carlton Ray in 2008. Along the course, each mile was accurately marked and there were hydration stations featuring just water given by volunteers. The volunteers working those hydration stations were supportive of all runners. And I cannot remember any portion of the run course that did not have any spectators on it, even if it were just one or two spectators. Highlights for me along the course were running through downtown Indianapolis, seeing Lucas Oil Stadium, and running through the classy neighborhoods of Indianapolis which had spectators cheering us on along the course. I always love running through the neighborhoods during events because it allows me to see the character of the individuals that live in that particular area. As for the swag, the Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon t-shirt was red, with the event name written in the center along with the logo of the event. After completing the run, I was given a cute beanie along with my finishers medal which I kissed after it was draped over my head by the volunteer. The finishers medal featured the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon on it, with the city's skyline below. I am so grateful to add yet another finishers medal to my run medal collection, a collection that goes back to 2007 when I initially started running. With my Garmin 235 GPS watch on my wrist, sparkle in my eye underneath my sunglasses, camouflage leggings by Nike on, I took on this half marathon.... and conquered it! Yes, I would surely consider running the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon again because it is yet another excuse to revisit Indianapolis, plus my mother and sister would love me being in town for it. ~Gonna run 'til I don't jiggle. ~ Thomas G

    This was my first year doing the Indianapolis Half Marathon, but my 20th Half, and this race is…read morelikely to be a keeper in my annual rotation of races! It is a beautiful course winding through Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park, and most of the course is in the shade which was excellent given the sunny unseasonably warm day we had for the race this past weekend. The short sunny stretches emphasized this point! There are very few portions of the course that are in roads with traffic, and parts are even on a no-vehicles paved trail through the park. The course is a little hilly for those of us who have been training on totally flat terrain (for locals I'm talking about the Monon...). Let's just say if you've been doing no hill work, and maybe take the first few a little too ambitiously fast, you might be walking up some of those hills in the last miles of the course... The course was incredibly well marked, and support was great. Water stops were every 2 miles for much of the course and every mile near the end. Gatorade at every stop was much appreciated given the warm temperature. Volunteers were wonderful! The park restrooms were plentiful and open during the race giving a nice non-port-o-pot option for restroom needs along the course. The wave start was great. Just spacing groups out by 30 seconds helped a great deal! We had no bottlenecks anywhere along the course. This is also a relatively small race with only around 1600 finishers which was enough that no one ended up running alone, but small enough to avoid bottlenecks and general chaos. The post race cookout was a nice touch. A freshly cooked burger really hit the spot after crossing the finish line and chilling for a bit. Parking was easy and not far from the start/finish. Packet pick up was also quick and easy. No, there isn't entertainment along the course or cheering crowds, but there is a lot to be said for a smaller, very well organized, lower key race in a pretty setting. The medals are pretty nice too and mine is adding some much appreciated color variety to my collection!

    Beyond Monumental holds events centered around running every year…read more The event I attended was the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. I first heard about this event through my friends who ran the marathon a couple of years ago (WOW!) This was their first marathon, both avid half marathon participants, and they both crossed that finish line! The medals for the half and full marathon have a letter each year that spells out "INDY" if you complete four years. This year, I joined them for a 5K. Just a tip: the medal for 5K is different from the half and full marathon and does not come with a letter. The event was well put together, especially considering it was my first big running event since pre-2020. My friends did say that the sponsors were a lot smaller and the pre-race packet pick up event was a lot less energetic compared to years before but that might just be the effects of the pandemic. Overall, would recommend for all you runners out there! Especially if you like the challenge of running all four years to complete the INDY medals. Also, the beanies they give out are SO CUTE and are colored depending on the race you run.

    For some reason, the Monumental Marathon is marked permanently closed...I put in a note to say it…read morewas on again in 2021, but it was never re-activated on Yelp, so I'm adding a new review here. I've run the Monumental half every year since 2011 with the exception of 2020 when it was canceled due to Covid. It is consistently a favorite of mine because it is so well organized and the course goes through so many interesting parts of downtown and the northside. Distraction with good scenery helps me, as does the energy of the residents in the neighborhoods we run through. It's a great course for serious, fast runners and more fitness "trotters" like me. One other cool element is that in the last 3 miles the half and full courses rejoin so the fast marathoners are in the lane next to us slow half marathoners. These elite runners are amazing and the contrast is entertaining. A friend commented that we were all dressed like Christmas carolers in hats, gloves, tights, jackets, etc and these folks were gliding along gazelle-like in shorts and tanks. The weather can be dicey the first Saturday of November, but usually it's cold at the start but warn enough to lose some extra layers as the race progresses.
