Rebecca Schmitt won the women’s 5K in 15:56, breaking the previous course record of 16:03. Lance Sobaski won the men’s 5K in 14:28.

Meanwhile, the 28 qualifiers more than doubled the 13 from 2025. Fourteen men finished under the 2:16:00 Trials standard and 14 women finished under 2:37:00, according to results shared after the race. Social posts from the race also listed 14 men under 2:16:00 and 14 women under 2:37:00. The event drew 18,000 registered participants from all 50 states and more than 35 countries, organizers said. It was the 14th consecutive sellout and the earliest sellout in event history, with the largest marathon field for the third straight year.

The 2026 race was the 19th annual edition of the event, with organizers already looking toward the 20th anniversary next year. Indianapolis has built its reputation as a fast, flat course where US runners can chase Trials standards late in the fall. Saturday showed why that reputation keeps growing.
