Geist Half Donates $20,000 to Local Schools

Proceeds from the inaugural Geist Half Marathon came in higher than expected thanks to a sold-out field and great sponsor support. This week, the Geist Half Marathon board of directors announced that $20,000 from the inaugural race will be split evenly between the Hamilton Southeastern School Foundation and the Lawrence Township School Foundation earmarked for health and wellness programs within their school systems.”The local support we received was fantastic, we’re anxious to do it again next year,” said Vince Auten, Vice President of the Geist Half Marathon Inc.

The 2009 race will be held on Saturday, May 16th utilizing the same course as last year’s run.
