Lace up for the Limestone Capital Half Marathon, 5K, and 1-Mile Walk on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in the charming town of Bedford, Indiana. This annual event, known for its small-town hospitality and vibrant community spirit, invites runners to experience the unique and challenging terrain that southern Indiana offers. The course is set in a rural backdrop, featuring some hills and providing scenic views as you navigate the road race, all while enjoying the beautiful sights of fall. Typical race day conditions in early October offer pleasant weather, with highs around 72°F and lows near 49°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running conditions.

All races commence and conclude in downtown Bedford, directly in front of the historic Milwaukee Depot on the corner of 14th and J Street. Participants in all three distances will be celebrated with commemorative finisher shirts and medals. Beyond the finish line, the atmosphere continues with pre- and post-race music and festivities. Unique to this event is the Half Marathon's cash purse, which includes a special bonus for the top male and female finishers from Lawrence County, alongside age group awards for various categories. The race also proudly features Ainsley's Angels, an inspiring group that pairs athletes with special needs with runners who guide them through the course in custom racing chairs.

The Limestone Capital Half Marathon weekend also includes a lively Expo on the Friday before the race, offering bib and shirt pickup, opportunities to preview the course, snacks, and live music. The 1-Mile walk is particularly welcoming, encouraging families and even pets to join in the fun. Drawing between 100-500 participants annually, this iconic race has a reputation for bringing together runners from across the country to celebrate fitness and community.
