🚨📢 ATTENTION Vincennes Historical Half Marathon PARTICIPANTS & VOLUNTEERS!📢🚨 PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD! 🚨📢

If you or someone you know is participating in or volunteering at the Vincennes Historical Half Marathon this Saturday, PLEASE see the shared post below! ⬇️ Our team has been working with local public safety officials to keep everyone safe on race day, and with the chance for bad weather, we have decided to push our start time.

For more details, please read the shared Vincennes Historical Half Marathon post below. The same post has also been pinned to the top of the half marathons page.

RACE START CHANGE! 🚨

We have been working directly with Public Safety watching the weather for this weekend. They are feeling very optimistic that we will still BE ON! However, to be safe and allow proper time for set up, we are pushing the START time to 9am.

🏃RUNNERS:
Race Day Check-in will be moved back to 8-8:40am at the Uplift Tent on Patrick Henry Square. (Friday Check-in will remain the same!)

🙌VOLUNTEERS:
This means that check in on Saturday will be between 8AM and 8:30AM.

All volunteers should report to 1972 the day before (April 17 between 4-7PM). You’ll collect your packet with instructions for the day of, your map of the routes, and your t-shirts.

On the morning of the race, volunteers will need to report to the Volunteer Hub (located at Patrick Henry Square in Vincennes. It is across from Burkhart Insurance) between 8AM and 8:30AM. This is where we will check you in officially so that we know you’re there the day of and you will get your safety vests.

☀️ KIDS/BUDDY Fun Run will be moved back to 12pm.

We can’t wait to see everyone Saturday!!! Rain or shine, it’ll be a great day for some exercise, community and celebration! 💕🧡
