Southern Indiana Classic Marathon & Half Marathon
Sunday, April 11, 2010  

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 and then upon your finish, you all can enjoy the party in the park for the entire community all the way until the award ceremony. This is an event you don't want to miss!

We are so excited that all proceeds from this inaugural event benefit the American Diabetes Association, whose mission of preventing, educating the public, managing and finding a cure for diabetes, falls in perfect alignment with our entire mission for organizing this race: to give tri-state residents a springtime motivator to stay healthy and pursue wellness year-round. Click here to learn more about diabetes, which is the sixth leading cause of death for Hoosier residents (fourth leading cause of death for African American Hoosiers).

Registration for this event is NOW OPEN! Be sure to register early and receive a discounted rate!
