HEARTLAND HALF MARATHON SET FOR SEPT. 5 The 2015 Heartland Half Marathon, one of the area's premier sporting events, is gearing up for the fourth annual event, which is scheduled to take place during Labor Day Weekend on Saturday, Sept. 5. The event will in- clude a half marathon, 5K, and team challenge. The races will begin at 7:30 a.m., Eastern time, in the shadow of the Jas- per Train Depot in Jasper, along the banks of the Pa- toka River, and will fin- ish in the shade along the same river just a stone's throw away. This scenic course takes half marathon run- ners along a hilly route through commercial and residential neighborhoods with challenging peaks midway through the race. The 5K starts and ends in the same location as the half marathon, but splits to take a different course close to the start of the race. The routes once again merge during the last leg of the race, which takes runners along the scenic Jasper Riverwalk. The team challenge is a relay comprised of a four- person team and follows the same course as the Heartland Half Marathon. The first runner in the re- lay will travel 4.2 miles, then pass along his/her timing chip to the second runner. The second run- ner will then run 3.6 miles and pass along the chip. The third runner will run 2.5 miles and final runner finishes off with the re- maining 2.75 miles. The registration fee for the half marathon is $50 if registered by June 21, in- creasing to $ 60 between June 22 and Aug. 14. A f- ter Aug. 14, the cost for the half marathon is $70. The 5K and team chal- lenge registration fee is $20 per person by June 21, increasing to $25 thereaf- ter. Pre-registrants will re- ceive a technical shirt, and the first 500 half mar- athoners to pre-register will also receive a special race gift. Registration can be completed online at ac- tive.com or at heartland- halfmrathon.com. For anyone interested in training with others in preparation for the Heart- land Half Marathon, the Southern Indiana Wolf- pack, based in Jasper, sponsors a free train- ing program every Sun- day morning beginning at 7 a.m., Eastern time, in front of the Jasper Fire Station located at 309 East Sixth Street. Each workout begins with basic stretching plus a few short core drills pri- or to beginning the run/ walk route. There are no pace requirements for this training group as partici- pants are free to run/walk at their own pace. The Heartland Half Marathon, 5K and Team Challenge are being coor- dinated by DC Multisport, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting health and wellness while giving back to local com- munities. Lodging information and race-day event volun- teers are being coordinat- ed by the Dubois County Visitors Center staff. The event corporate sponsor is Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center. The majority of the pro- ceeds from this year's race will be given to the Phillip R. Dawkins Heart & Vas- cular Center at Memori- al Hospital for new inte- grative medicine servic- es provided to cardiac pa- tients. Ten percent of the proceeds will go toward the DC Multisport Endow- ment to ensure future sta- bility of the organization and to continue in its ef- forts to give towards wor- thy causes.

Ninth St., Petersburg Phone: 812-354-8776 Wishing all Pike Central Chargers the best of luck this season. Go CharGers! flying to the ball," Powell said. "Once it's determined where that ball's going and what's going on ... we want everybody getting there. That's an effort thing." "I thought we did a good job of really flying to the ball," Powell added. "There were a few times when we made plays in the backfield, and it wasn't one person. We had three, four, five people there. And then, even when maybe a running back tried to stay up and move, there were another four or five coming. Anybody that got to come out and watch, I think they saw some really good things." Pike Central will open the season when it travels to Evansville Bosse. Kick- off is set for 7:30 p.m., East- ern time. The Chargers are 0 -5 against the Bulldogs, in- cluding season-ending loss- es each of the last two years, including a 41-20 loss at En- low Field in 2014. "It's always nice, from a player's perspective, to get to that point where you can get out and hit somebody else," Powell said. "I think the kids are excited about it. Bosse is going to be an ath- letic group. A lot of times, as you go into the next season, you can pull video from the last two or three years. But they've got a new coach and a new system on both sides." "We're excited about get- ting things going," Powell said. "It's a fun place to play, I think. The kids are look- ing forward to going down there. We didn't start off re- al well last year, but I think it's going to be a better show- ing all the way around, just because the kids have had some success in the sum- mer and has some success tonight. I think it's going to be different – different kids, different mentality."
