Ivy Tech and the Monroe County Parks and Rec play host to a new and challenging Hoosier Half Marathoncourse. With the Bloomington Police Department and IU Police Department still understaffed, we have partnered with Ivy Tech, Cook Medical, Baxter, the Monroe County YMCA and the Monroe County Parks & Rec to bring you this new challenging course that highlights these businesses and the newly created Karst Park trail that spans all the way to Ellettsville.
The 5K will run around Cook Medical and up to the NW YMCA before turning around and returing to Ivy Tech. NEW is a 10k option that starts with the 5k and continues past the YMCA and down onto the Karst trail before reversing course and returning to Ivy Tech. The Half Marathon starts with the 5k and 10k but continues the entire span of the new section of Karst Park trail and takes you all the way to Ellettsville before returning. We can’t wait to see you so we can RUN TOGETHER AGAIN!

I did not train as I should have for this race, and it was tough. I ran with my dad (his first half!) and we struggled with some of the hills, especially later in the course. Running through campus is beautiful, the race swag was okay – did not like the race colors being black and green instead of red and white! This is my slowest half by far!
