Geist Half Marathon

09/04/2026

Race day takes more than runners, volunteers and cheering crowds. It also takes a trusted medical team ready to support participants along the course.

Thank you to IU Health, our Medical Sponsor, for providing the medical professionals who help keep the Geist Half Marathon safe from start to finish.

Steady pace. Strong finish.

Several of this year’s Geist Race Series pacers are focused on helping runners stay controlled early, hold steady through the course and save enough energy to finish strong.

From even splits to smart water stop strategy, pacers like Ryan Hercamp, Prabu Selvaraju, Jenny Ly, Kelsie Morano and Drezden Johnson are ready to help runners stay calm, confident and consistent on race day.

Find your pace group before race morning and get ready to settle in.

Race day is about more than the miles — it’s about the community that helps make the experience memorable from start to finish.
