The event will once again in- clude a half marathon, a 5K, and a team challenge. Cash prizes will be given to the top three male and female half marathon finish- ers. First place will receive $500, second place $250, and third place $100. The races will begin 7:30 a.m., Eastern time, in the shadow of the Jasper Train Depot along the Patoka River and will finish in the shade at Dave Buehler Pla- za, just a stone's throw away from the starting line. The hilly, scenic course takes runners through commercial and residential areas with challeng- ing peaks midway through the route. A fter the midway point, the course largely flattens out through to the finish. The 5K starts and ends in the same location as the half mara- thon, but splits to take a differ- ent course very close to the start of the race. The team challenge is a re- lay comprised of a four-per- son team and follows the same course as the half marathon. The first team member will travel 3.8 miles, then pass along his/her timing chip to the second mem- ber. The second member will cov- er 4.05 miles, the third member 2.5 miles, and the final member 2.75 miles. The registration fee for the half marathon is $ 60 if registered be- fore August 13, when the fee will increase to $70. The registration fee for the 5K is $25. The regis- tration fee for the team challenge is $25 per person/$100 per team. Pre-registrants will receive a technical shirt, and the first 500 half marathon registrants will re- ceive a special gift. A free training group will meet every Sunday at 7 a.m. Eastern time, at Downtown Running and Fitness located at 331 Mill Street. This training group is open to the public and participants are free to run/walk at their own pace. The Heartland Half Marathon, 5K, and Team Challenge are be- ing coordinated by DC MultiS - port, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting health and wellness while giving back to local communities. Lodging information is being coordinated by the Dubois Coun- ty Visitors Center and race-day event volunteers are being co- ordinated by Memorial Hospi- tal and Health Care Center, the event's corporate sponsor. The majority of the proceeds from this year's race will be given to the Phillip R. Dawkins Heart & Vascular Center at Memorial Hospital to be utilized for new in- tegrative medicine services pro- vided to cardiac patients. Ten percent of the proceeds will go toward the DC MultiSport Endowment to ensure future sta- bility of the organization and to continue in its efforts to give to- ward worthy causes.
