The Morse-Mini’s out and back route takes participants on a scenic tour of small town, rural America over a course that crosses Morse Reservoir and passes the final resting place of teenage, AIDS activist Ryan White.
Police and volunteers will be on the course to help ensure the safety of all participants. However, it is an open course (traffic will still be flowing as only one lane will be shut down for runners) and a 17 minute per mile pace must be maintained in order to guarantee the safety of all participants. Participants who fail to maintain this pace or can’t finish the race for any other reason will be driven back to the start/finish line.
Thanks to its proximity to Morse Reservoir, the race course is mostly flat and fast. After running through the streets of downtown Cicero, participants run on paved roads through the country with plenty of pastoral scenery, filled with tree-lined country roads, fenced in pastures with grazing animals and green farm fields.
Runners start and finish at Hamilton Heights High School (25802 State Road 19 Arcadia, IN 46030), where proceeds will go to benefit the various sports and extra-curricular programs.
Water and rehydrate stops, by Advocare, will be located approximately every 2 miles on the mini course with Port-o-lets available periodically throughout the course. The water stations will be manned by the athletes who will benefit from the proceeds of the event.
