This isn’t the race week announcement we wanted to make, but the Carmel Marathon Weekend has been postponed to Sunday, May 31st. We’ve received multiple reports, including from the National Weather Service, of potentially dangerous storms on Saturday. The safety of everyone involved has always been, and continues to be, our top priority.

We waited as long as we could to make the call, hoping the forecast would change. Now that it’s clear that isn’t going to happen, we wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible. We recognize that many of our runners have travel plans that will need to be adjusted.

The Expo and packet pickup will not happen this week; that will also be moved to the new weekend.

Anyone who is currently registered for the event will have three options:

1. If you want to run with us on May 31, no action is needed. Your registration will roll forward to the new date automatically.
2. You can defer your registration to 2027 (April 17, 2027) at no cost. This can be done by logging in to your RunSignUp account, going to your Profile, and clicking “Manage Registration” next to the Carmel Marathon Weekend. Then, click “Defer Registration” in the gray bar.
3. You can run the event virtually and we will mail your shirt and medal. All runners have received an email that includes a link to complete a form if you select this option.

We recognize that this isn’t ideal, but we’re committed to providing a safe event for everyone, and our best opportunity to do that is by providing these options.

We will announce more details about the new date as soon as we have finalized plans with the city and everyone involved.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you in May under better conditions.

Plainfield Parks & Recreation finished their run series this past Saturday! Who else is now geared up for their spring half?
