Four course records fell on Saturday at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, in the 19th running of the downtown race.
Johnnie Guy, 32, of Leopold, Indiana, won the men's marathon in 2:11:47, breaking the previous course record of 2:12:29 set in 2025 and finishing nearly 90 seconds ahead of the next runner.
Lindsey Bradley won the women's marathon in 2:29:47, lowering the course record she set when she won the race in 2024. Isabel Hebner finished about one second behind her, with the two given the same chip time.
In all, 28 runners finished inside the qualifying standards for the 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials — 14 men under 2:16:00 and 14 women under 2:37:00 — more than double the total from a year earlier. The Trials are scheduled for March 25, 2028, in St. Louis.
Records also fell in the other distances. Owen Smith won the men's half marathon in a course-record 1:01:42, Indianapolis runner Mikayla Reed won the women's half marathon in 1:08:51, and Rebecca Schmitt won the women's 5K in a course-record 15:56. The marathon itself drew 8,436 finishers, a record field for the third year in a row.
