The course is flat and fast and winds through the streets of Bluffton, Ouabache State Park, and along the Wabash River on the scenic River Greenway. Runners of ALL speeds are welcome but there is a 4 hour time limit for the half marathon event (early starts available).

• Finisher Medals: Awarded to all finishers

Time Limit

We welcome runners and walkers of all speeds; however, there is a 4 hour time limit for the Half-Marathon so we can provide volunteers and the City of Bluffton some certainty about time commitments and the start and ending of street closures. Please be respectful of our time limit. An early start at 6:30 A.M. is available for runners who may not meet the 4 hour time limit. Early starters are eligible for age-group awards, but not overall awards. Please message the race organizers through the registration system or at sports@blufftonindiana.gov if you are interested.

Additional Note

NOTE: We are running low on shirt sizes. When you select your event, you have the opportunity to sign up for a reduced price, without including an event t-shirt, if your size is not available.
