Marathon recommendation

I have previously run Detroit Marathon, Chicago Marathon & Columbus Marathon. Have never run Indianapolis Marathon. Comparing Columbus and Indianapolis, which do you recommend?

Re: Marathon recommendation
Welcome to active.com!
Columbus is about 4 times the size of Indianapolis so it depends on what you are looking for. Both have fairly flat courses with Columbus looking slightly faster. If you like larger events with more support, go with Columbus. If you like smaller events with less crowding in the pack, go for Indianapolis. Let us know if you have any more questions or comments and tells us which race you pick.
Good luck and happy running!
