BEDFORD – Come join the fun during the 9th Annual Limestone Capital Half Marathon Expo Friday, October 6th. The 9th annual event is sponsored by Bedford Federal Savings Bank.
One of the best-kept secrets to non-competitors is the pre-race expo where runners pick up bibs and packets – they’re open to everyone, whether you’re lacing up or not, and often feature vendors and exhibitors who hawk the latest fitness gear, offer health and fitness tips, and most importantly, unload free loot. You also get to meet and speak to those participating in the big race.
The Limestone Capital Half Marathon Expo sponsored by Bedford Federal Savings takes place this Friday, October 6th from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. at the Milwaukee Depot building on the corner of J and 14th streets, which will also serve as the starting point and finish line for this year’s Limestone Capital Half Marathon, 5K & 1 Mile Walk. The marathon sponsored by McIntrye Bros. will take place on Saturday, October 7th.
All registrants should come by the expo Friday afternoon and pick up their race packet, bag, and t-shirt. Free grab-and-go refreshments will be provided like yogurt, cupcakes, fruit, and granola bars.
Be sure to register for a chance to win free prizes. You can also register for the race. All races will start and finish in front of the Milwaukee Depot on the corner of 14th and J Streets and include a challenging course that only southern Indiana can offer.
WQRK 105.5 Indiana Classic Hits will be providing music and photo opportunities.
Dedicated to Lawrence County, McIntyre Brothers is the sponsor of the 9th Annual Limestone Capital Half Marathon, 5K, & 1 Mile Walk on Saturday, October 7. To register to race or walk, click here.
