Running through the heart of downtown Indianapolis on November 5, and the
city's historic and scenic neighborhoods, the CNO Financial Indianapolis
Monumental Marathon has grown into one of the 15th largest and most popular
marathons in the United States. The annual event attracts Olympic Trials
qualifiers, Boston Marathon qualifiers, and personal PR seekers. Regularly
ranked as a top Boston Marathon qualifying event, over 27% of the field met
their Boston qualifying standard in 2021, resulting in the 5th most
qualifiers of any marathon in the U.S. This year's field includes
participants from all 50 states and 12 countries, including Australia,
Germany, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Norway.
"The excitement and interest from the running community in this event
continues to be extraordinary, resulting in sold-out fields again this
year," said Jed Cornforth, Executive Director of Beyond Monumental, "It's a
testament to our community partners, sponsors, volunteers, City of
Indianapolis and the surrounding central Indiana communities."
As the title sponsor of the event for the seventh consecutive year, CNO
Financial Group's commitment to health, wellness and the central Indiana
community aligns with Beyond Monumental's organizational mission to educate
Indianapolis youth on the benefits of exercise, proper diet and healthy
living. The sponsorship has provided significant growth opportunities for
