If you are running in the 4th annual Geist Half Marathon...you already know everything you need to know!  But, if you are a spectator, this might be the post for you.

RacingThe race starts at 113th "ish" and Olio Road at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 21st.  You can take a shuttle from HSE School or walk the 1 mile (in honor of the race!).  You can also take a shuttle to Mile 3 which is also the Finish Line.  The bridge is a beautiful setting to watch them finish! 

There are many neighborhoods in Geist that will be able to see the race up close and in person including Springs of Cambridge, Weatherstone, Masthead and Feather Cove.  This is the course map for the race.

The buses will leave very 5 minutes from 5:15 a.m to 7:35 a.m. to the starting area.  The shuttles will then take everyone to the Finish line once the race has started and then back to the HSE parking lot between 8:30 and 1:00 p.m.

There will be thousands (probably over 6,000) runners and the weather looks promising.

Entertainment will include 10 different bands and will no doubt be a very festive place to be.

One tidbit you may not know...the Geist Half Marathon Inc is organized to inspire health and wellness in the children surrounding Geist Reservoir.  They work to raise funds to sponsor fitness programs in the schools.

One final note...your Geist Real Estate agent wants you to know that if you like this area of town, I have a great listing in Weatherstone for you!

That's a lot of people, Cindy. Very big event. I love that the reason to hold the event is to promote healthy lifestyles for children.

Cindy - 6000 runners - wow! Now I'm feeling guilty for not exercising for the last three weeks - I'm laid up after knee surgery. Sounds like a great event for the whole community!

Michael and Judi...it's a great setting for sure; very little water here and this one runs over the bridge of it!

JoAnn...living in Indianapolis...it is a target rich environment for overweightness!

Kristine....I think you'll be back at it soon; I know that knee surgergy had to really be a set back for someone as active as you.

Hi Tammy, we run the Mini Marathon here in Indy to kick off the Indianapolis 500 and it has 35,000 runners!

Maybe that's it Leah...I didn't start when I was young!

Hi Karen, with all the rain we have had...it is ABOUT time for a sunny day.

Bliz...someone with your military background...I bet you run a pretty good distance with ease.

Cindy, I was in the Navy.  From the bow to stern, 450 feet.  I NEVER needed to run far! :)  And after my years of soccer, the knees are not good.

But Bliz...didn't you have to train to be in the Navy and run?  I just figured everyone in the Navy, Army, Air Force, etc...had rigorous training...

Cindy.....a) 25+ years ago when I graduated from Annapolis.  Most I ever had to run was 1.5 miles :)  Now the Army and Marines, THOSE guys run!  The Air Force guys, I think they just drives buses or something....not really sure! :)
