      Whether this is your first 26.2 or your twelfth this year, be a part of history and register for the inaugural Southern Indiana Classic Marathon and Half Marathon. This event is organized by runners, FOR runners (and walkers)! We know what it is like to be in the second half of the course, and we want you to enjoy this event as much as possible! With entertainment all along the course, tons of hydration, premium refreshments (such as fruit, bars, shots, gels, etc.) and massage stations, you will never forget this event!

      Thanks to our generous training program sponsor, Bob's Gym, UE's Cross Country Program, led by Coach Don Walters, will manage the 18 week Full and 14 week Half Marathon Training program. Coach Gordon Benfield, a nationally certified coach with USA TF (Level I Track Coach), Road Runners Club of America, and American Sport Education Program, is the Chairman of the Training Program Committee and will oversee all aspects of the Southern Indiana Classic Marathon and Half Marathon Training Programs.

      In an effort to keep the participants as healthy as possible, Dr. Wes Rockers from Rockers Chiropractic will be the official chiropractic doctor of the training program, using the Graston technique to help alleviate many common soft tissue injuries that are often associated with running or walking for this length of distance.
