The 16th Geist Half Marathon is ready to go Saturday, September 14. This year’s expanded event features three race distances: a half marathon (13.1 miles), 10K (6.2 miles), and 5K (3.1 miles) race supported by nearly 350 community volunteers.
City officials say registration numbers have already surpassed last year’s numbers, with more than 2,500 participants prepared to run.
The post-race party will feature a pancake breakfast to raise funds for Hero Hut, a nonprofit that works to build community for veterans and first responders, along with food and drink from vendors including MashCraft Brewing, Athletic Brewing, Java House, and Smoothie King.
Event registration is open through Friday, September 13, at 11:59 p.m. at GeistHalf.com.
