ONE YEAR ONLY - we have added a marathon distance for the Boston Marathon Virtual Runners

Saturday, September 12, 2020 in Danville, IN

Staggered start times for all three distances: 7:15 AM - Marathon; 8:15 AM - Half Marathon & 8:30 AM 5K

The Fair on the Square Half Marathon & 5K is an annual race that partners with Danville Tri-Kappa's Fair on the Square festival held on the Hendricks County Courthouse town square. Because of COVID-19's cancellation of the Boston Marathon scheduled for Monday, September 14th, the event has added a USATF certified marathon distance using a two-loop course as a 2021 BQ qualifier!

Some of the great features of Fair on the Square Event:

One of the most country-scenic Half Marathon courses you can run in the Indianapolis metro area
- Water stations every 2-3 miles
- Chip timing system
- Music at the start/finish
- Age group and Overall awards
- Distance specific medals for all finishers
- Official events for all participants
- Free finisher photos
- Portalets at every water stop
- Fair food at the finish + Beer Garden
- USATF certified marathon and half marathon courses

If you were planning to run the Boston Marathon, here is why the "Boston to Danville Virtual Marathon Marathon" makes sense. The following statement is from the Boston Athletic Association:

"The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has announced that the 124th Boston Marathon will be held as a virtual event, following Boston Mayor Martin Walsh’s cancellation of the marathon as a mass participation road running event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual Boston Marathon will be complemented by a series of virtual events throughout the second week of September.

All participants who were originally registered for the April 20, 2020 event will be offered a full refund of their entry fee associated with the race and will have the opportunity to participate in the virtual alternative to the 124th Boston Marathon, which can be run any time between September 7–14. The B.A.A. will also offer a series of virtual events and activities throughout September’s Marathon Week in an effort to bring the Boston Marathon experience to the constituencies that the organization serves here in Boston, across the United States, and around the world."
