This blast of an event starts and finishes at the Vanderburgh County 4-H Grounds, taking participants on a course that winds through beautiful northern Vanderburgh County during the mild Southwestern Indiana spring weather. The full and half marathon courses have rolling hills, mostly at the beginning, with more down hills in the second half of the course. Your friends and family will cheer you on at the six fan stations that line the course and then upon your finish, you all can enjoy the party in the park, with food and entertainment for the entire community all the way until the award ceremony. This is an event you don't want to miss!
