Runners and walkers descended on Blue Spruce Park on October 1, 2023 for the Historical Society's Run Through History 5K Race/Walk. The weather was perfect for a morning run, and the foliage was just turning. We had a total of 24 registered, although not all checked in that morning; however there was a dog, and one runner pushed a baby in a stroller for this fun event.
These events are made possible by several local sponsors including Kauffman & Billimoria, Four and Twenty Bakery, Tyger Paint, Allied Milk Producers, and S&S Screen Printing. Along the course, several volunteers dressed in historical clothing to cheer everyone on to the finish line. A special thanks goes out to Tommy Kauffman, Garrett Minnick, and Daniel Carpenter, local students from Indiana Area Sr. High who helped out with timing and clean up from the event.
After the race, runners and walkers were provided with refreshments including sandwiches, cheese, bananas, granola bars, and milk. After some tabulating the results were in, and they are posted here:
