The 2020 Financial Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis will go virtual this year, organizers announced Friday

"Beyond Monumental is fortunate to have a significant support system in place, and we feel a deep responsibility to keep everyone involved as safe and healthy as possible," the new release states.

Organizers are still reviewing in-person options for the Indy Half Marathon at Fort Ben scheduled for Oct. 3.
