The 2024 Heartland Half Marathon, 5K, Team Challenge, and Kids Fun Run are fast approaching, taking place on Friday, September 20th, and Saturday, September 21st. On Saturday, the half marathon and team challenge events begin at 7:30 AM ET with the 5K starting at 8:30 AM ET around the square in downtown Jasper.
The public is encouraged to cheer the runners on along the route along with friends and family. Signs, music, or just clapping along with words of support go a long way in encouraging a runner or walker to keep pushing toward the finish line.
The Heartland Committee would like to remind the Jasper community to yield to race participants and be courteous to volunteers who are protecting the runners and walkers. Also, to keep everyone safe, they ask that those who live along the race route, to please be sure to keep your pets secure Saturday morning from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
