Geist Half Marathon Announces New Partnership

Fishers Running Club to be the official training partner

BREAKING — Geist Half Marathon (GHM) is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Fishers Running Club (FRC). As the official training partner of the Geist Half, the Fishers Running Club will serve as the local go-to training community for runners and walkers preparing for the May 19 race. Fishers Running Club members planning to compete in the 5K, 10K, or half marathon will receive training plans, coaching specific to the Geist Half courses, monthly clinics from St. Vincent Sports Performance, as well as nutrition-supported training runs every Saturday morning in and around the Geist Half course offering a level of service and race day preparation previously unavailable.


“We are excited to announce our new partnership with Fishers Running Club. The impact they’ve made on our running community in such a short period of time is impressive and we could not be more thrilled to have them on board as the official training partner for the Geist Half. We’re grateful for this relationship, for the support and connectivity the Fishers Running Club offers those who run or walk our race, and for this opportunity to build community in and around Fishers and Geist Reservoir,” said Mike Napariu, Geist Half President.

“Partnering with the Geist Half Marathon made perfect sense on many levels,” added Fishers Running Club President Scott Fussell, “First off, the Geist Half course is one of the premier half marathons in the country. More importantly, the race has become a pillar of our local community and the cause is an extraordinarily important one. We want to be a part of that. Serving as a home for runners and walkers who are training for a race designed specifically to support physical and mental health initiatives in our local schools is an opportunity we could not be more excited about. We look forward to an incredible journey with the Geist Half board and everyone who calls Geist ‘my race’.”

Fishers Running Club’s Geist Half Marathon training kickoff is scheduled for March 3, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. in Brooks School Park. For more information, go to geisthalf.comfishersrunningclub.com, or connect with both organizations on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
