By
Organizers of the Indianapolis 500 mini-marathon have canceled the event for the first time in 43 years and suspended all other festivities through the second weekend of May.
The organization cited the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to cancel or postpone large events over the next eight weeks.
The 13.1-mile footrace is considered one of the top half-marathons in the United States. It had nearly 20,000 finishers last year.
