CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon sells out record field

The 19th Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, now titled the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, has sold out its expanded field—the earliest sellout in the event’s history—recording a historic milestone for the November race. The marathon will be one of the 15 largest marathons in the United States, drawing participants from all 50 states and more than 20 countries.

CNO Financial Group’s title‑sponsorship has been extended through 2028, reinforcing its partnership with Beyond Monumental. The race weekend will open with the Monumental Health & Fitness Expo on November 5‑6 at the Indiana Convention Center, featuring packet pickup, merchandise, and over 50 vendors. President & CEO Jed Cornforth said the early sellout reflects strong momentum and community energy.

Organizers expect the event to boost the central Indiana economy, bringing tens of thousands of runners, spectators, volunteers and visitors to downtown Indianapolis and supporting local hotels, restaurants and small businesses.
