WELCOME
Runners start their trek at the beginning of the Mill Race Marathon last year in Columbus.
START YOUR ENGINES

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ...
For the third year in a row, thousands of runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators will descend
upon Columbus, Indiana, for the
Mill Race Marathon, Half-Marathon,
5K and Kids Fun Run. From
Sept. 25 to 26, everyone can
expect a fantastic experience accomplishing a major life goal and
having fun in the process!
It all starts Sept. 25 downtown at
The Commons, where the Mill Race
Marathon Expo takes place, including everything from running and
cycling gear to food and seminars
to help you accelerate through the
next day. Then, a few blocks over,
Mill Race Park will host one of the
largest Kids Fun Runs in the region.
Little speedsters can take ight

across open elds within a safe,
controlled environment. So bring
the whole family to get up, get going and get healthy!
The weekend continues early
Sept. 26 with the start of the full
and half-marathons. After some
nice course updates and continuous improvements from last year,
participants should hope to cross
the nish line faster than ever before. But the race isnt just for those
looking to set a personal record;
remember, any nisher of the half
or full marathon is automatically entered to win and ride off in a brand
new RAM 2500 truck, powered by
Cummins. And all SIHO 5K nishers
will be entered to win one of four

road bikes.
Just make sure youre downtown for
both rafes to accept your prize!
And being downtown shouldnt be
hard, because once you cross the
nish line youll run right into
Fourth Street for the ofcial cool
down. The Finish on Fourth After
Party will have live music, a beer
garden, kids activities, plenty of food
and beverages, plus so much more!
So use this race guide to navigate
the entire weekend. Whether youre
running, walking or just looking to
have a good time, Columbus is the
place where everyone takes the
checkered ag.

MARATHON OVERVIEW
RAMPED UP MARKETING FOR
YEAR THREE
ill Race Marathon organizers have been quite pleased

by the results of the race
the rst two years, but they think a
greater experience is in store for
the third year.
Theyve examined what worked
well and what needed improvement from the rst two races, and
have aggressively marketed the
race to draw out-of-town runners
to Columbus.
The goal is to provide participants the best event they can
experience that day, so theyll be enthusiastic about returning, said
Grant Russo, race marketing
director.
Race organizers visited the
Derby Festival Marathon in
Louisville in April and the One
America 500 Festival Mini-Marathon in Indianapolis in May to
promote the Columbus race to a
larger audience.
One of the selling points is that
the Mill Race Marathon is a
nearby qualifying race for the
Boston Marathon.
We had a tremendous ratio (16
percent) of marathon runners
leaving Mill Race Marathon with a
ticket to run at Boston. That is one
of the highest percentages Ive ever
seen in any marathon. I ran the full
last year and was included in the 16
percent that qualied, said Dave
Venable, a marathon planning
committee member.
Other points runners should like
is that the course is at and the
time of year offers cooler temperatures, Venable said.
While being a Boston Marathon
qualier is a selling point, so is
Mill Race Marathons variety of
events. The weekend includes a
Kids Fun Run on Sept. 25, and 5K,
half-marathon and marathon
races Sept. 26. The races take
participants along a scenic
journey, exposing them to many of

Columbus architecturally renowned buildings.
Last years running events drew
about 5,000 runners, with an increase
in the number of entries for the 5K
and Kids Fun Run. Through early
September, registration was running
about 6 percent higher to last years
totals.
Marathon weekend this year
kicks off with the Health and
Fitness Expo. Following the races,
the Finish on Fourth after party
allows participants and spectators
to unwind and have fun. On race
day, four bicycles will be given
away as will a 2015 RAM 2500 crew
cab heavy-duty pickup worth
about $50,000.
Russo described the truck
giveaway as a nice carrot to
dangle, noting that its value is
worth the type of prize money an
elite-level runner would win at a
large, established marathon.
One change organizers made to
improve the event was moving the
start/nish line south on Washington to near Sixth Street, so it
would be closer to the downtown
post-race celebration.
Runners also will see something
that theyll be helping support: the
People Trails. Money raised by the
event supports the development of
the citys People Trails system, and
organizers decided that they wanted
to show off a portion of it. About
one mile of the course will be on
two segments of the People Trails,
from Mile 16 through Mile 18. Also,
about three-fourths of a mile of the
new 5K course will be on the People
Trail connecting Noblitt Park to
Mill Race Park.
The Mill Race Marathon has
become an important fall event in
Columbus, and organizers have
worked hard to make it better. Soon
theyll see if their efforts paid off.

THE RACE // FOR RUNNERS
WAVE START
AIMS FOR CLEAN OPENING TO RACE
rganizers are using a

wave start to get
runners on the course.
All participants are being
asked to report their estimated
nish time as part of the
registration process, and
theyll be assigned to a starting
corral based on that guess.
When the rst starting gun
goes off on race day, the rst
wave of runners in Corral A
will take off, and participants
in corrals B through E will be
walked forward. Each corral
will be released with a starting
gun at the start line every
30 seconds.
Fast runners and slow
walkers will not be mixed
together at the start, race
director Joel Sauer said. A
good, clean start is vital for
both the enjoyment and the
safety of all participants.
The entire process will add
fewer than three minutes to the
start of the race, but it could

help cut nish times by more
than that.
It will prevent participants
from having to weave all over
the road and dodge slower
participants, Sauer said. The
short, 30-second span between
waves makes a big difference
in preventing overcrowding on
early parts of the race course,
especially at turns and curves
in the early miles.
But thats not the only
benet, Sauer said.
All participants will experience the thrill of being close to
the starting line when their
race starts. That means no
more standing 150 yards back
and not having any idea of
when your race begins.
Your corral will come to
the line once the wave in front
of you starts, you will get a
greeting, a countdown and your
own wave start, he said.

HOW THE WAVE WORKS

Register for the Mill Race Marathon
online at millracemarathon.com. The
form will ask for your estimated finish
time. Be honest.
Based on that time, you will be
assigned a starting corral, which will
be designated by letters A through E
for the full and half-marathon, and by
letters J, K, L and F for the SIHO 5K.
These letters will be clearly marked on
your race bib.
On race morning, there will be signs in
the starting area directing participants
on where to enter their corral. Want to
run with someone who is assigned to a
different corral? You can move back a
corral but not forward.
When the starting gun goes off, the first
wave of runners in Corral A will take off.
The participants in corrals B through E
will be walked forward still staying
within their corrals with Corral B
participants now toeing the start line.
About 30 seconds after the Corral A
participants clear the start area, the
second wave will be released.

AZZING UP
NATIONAL ANTHEM
embers of the 25th Street

Singers, a vocal jazz
ensemble at Columbus
North High School, are
familiar with The Star-Spangled
Banner. Theyve heard it or performed
it at school functions, and some have
sung it individually or with other choir
groups.
But at 7:23 a.m. Sept. 26, their
moment for singing the national
anthem will be unlike any other theyve
experienced. The ensemble will
perform the song in front of thousands
of participants and spectators as
part of the opening ceremonies of
the third annual Mill Race Marathon
a qualifying race for the Boston
Marathon.
Janie Gordon, Norths choral teacher,

said the opportunity to sing the
national anthem at the marathon was
one she couldnt pass up for
her students. She was
e
first contacted at the
end of last school
year about
performing.
Columbus Norths vocal jazz ensemble, the 25th Street Singers, rehearse the
national anthem Aug. 27 for their upcoming performance at the Mill Race Marathon.
Its been something were really excited

about, said Adam Ruble, an 18-yearold senior who is in his second year with
the 25th Street Singers.
I was very excited. I have sung the

national anthem by myself at the
Bartholomew County 4-H Fair for some
races, but never in such a group

so is important because the 25th Street
Singers will perform a cappella without
instruments.
Not only will performing the national

anthem in front of so many people
be a new experience, but so will be
seeing the race up-close for some of
the singers.
Im not really into running, so Im not sure
what to expect, said 17-year-old senior
Laura Pierson, a first-year ensemble
member.
Graham Thomason said he hasnt
attended the race before, but
understands the scale of it.
Every year I see them run by my
house. There are some really fast
runners, said the 15-year-old
sophomore and first-year ensemble
member.
While this will be a new experience for
the students, and a performance in front
of a larger crowd than usual, Gordon
said she believes they will rise to the
challenge.

professionalism they bring, Gordon
said.

Any marathon participant who arrives at the split
after 10:45 a.m. will need to turn left and follow the
half-marathon course. They will be considered an
official half-marathon finisher.
The instant printouts of results will not be inside
The Commons this year, but will be in the Results
and Awards Tent, which will be located on the
southwest corner of Fourth and Washington streets
in the heart of the Finish on Fourth post-race party.
&RESULTS
MARATHON TIMING
Whether going for a personal record or creating a baseline for future

events, runners and walkers take results seriously after they cross the finish
line.
Race director Joel Sauer said he understands that and added there are
some exciting options available for both participants and their supporters
through End Result Co.
Timing will be conducted through shoe tags that will activate when a
participant crosses the finish line. Split times will be marked at 5K, 10K,
10 miles, 15 miles, 20 miles and the finish line.
Results will be posted online at onlineraceresults.com/event/view_
event.php?event_id=15642.
Participants also can visit the Results and Awards Tent at Fourth and
Washington streets after the race to get an instant printout of time, place
and splits along the course. There, they can find out if they won an award
or if they posted a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon.
Friends and family can sign up for a texting service to follow the progress
of their runner by visiting millracemarathon.com. Once people sign up,
they will receive a text when the runner or walker passes certain points on
the course 5K, 10K, 10 miles, 15 miles, 20 miles and the finish line.
Proceeds from the Mill Race Marathon

will benet the following two charities:
>> Columbus Parks Foundation
>> Reach Healthy Communities
Thank you to all our sponsors

and participants for helping us
improve the health of Bartholomew County.

MEDAL OF
HONOR
After every walker and runner
crosses the nish line
Sept. 26, they will receive a
medal well worth their effort.
The brand new 2015 medal
designs are different from the
previous two years, and the
planning committee said it
thinks participants will be
very happy with them.
As a committee, we love
the way the medals turned
out this year, Mill Race
Marathon co-marketing and
promotions leader Erica
Tucker said. We posted
pictures of the new designs
on our social media pages
and the response was
overwhelmingly positive.
People are signing up to
race just to get the medal.
The inspiration for the new
design came from the race
logo itself. The designers
used the shoe with the

e in
iconic Columbus bridge
n the
the forefoot and gears in
heel and turned it into a
medal that is uniquely
bus
representative of Columbus
hon.
and the Mill Race Marathon.
ght
With the exception of slight
differences in size, the same
medal design was used for
all three races.

advice they have for this years participants.

GEOFFREY KIPROTICH

SARAH OVERPECK
WOMENS HALF-MARATHON
Finish: First
Time: 3:04:47
Advice: Columbus is the epitome of a heartland

town, so be sure to take in the scenery and
environment along the course. This race is unique
and lovely, showcasing small-town Americana, parks,
a history of industry and architecture and expansive
farmland. Youll also find enthusiastic spectators
along the residential streets. In a fairly small race,
its important to know the race route. There will be
volunteers to help, but there might not be large
groups of runners to follow. Stay hydrated, even if its
not overly hot. And trust that the work youve done
in training will guide you to the finish! Plan to stick
around after the race, not only for the truck giveaway
of course, but also for the great post-race block party
atmosphere and all that Columbus has to offer.
LAURA GILLETTE
Finish: Second
Time: 3:05:34
Advice: Relax and trust your training. Remember to be

patient, especially the first couple of miles. Best wishes
on running a strong race!

OLIVIA MORLOK

Time: 19:30
Advice: Before a race I always have a banana and a wholegrain waffle with peanut butter. I like to do a quick jog/stretch to
warm up. Then, when I race, I try to not focus on the pain and
just run as hard as I can. After the race, I like to get a snack, and
then I stretch again to cool down.

DISCOURAGED
[ AND OTHER RULES ]

Whether hip-hop, rock, country or
jazz puts the groove in your step,
Mill Race Marathon organizers are
asking runners and walkers to
save their personal music for after
the race.
Randy Stafford, who coordinates

with the race director on all course
logistics, including course safety,
said the use of personal music
players is not forbidden but
strongly discouraged.
With headphones on, participants might not be able to hear
important information from police,
volunteers or others. They might
need to hear a car horn or a
Look out! from a fellow runner.
The race will be far from silent,
though. Music is planned along
the race course and at the
after-party.
OTHER RULES &

RECOMMENDATIONS
TO KEEP IN MIND:
Bicycles, skateboards and animals are

prohibited in all races.
Participants may walk or run with strollers only in
the 5K. They must start in the back.
Participants must follow instructions as given from all
event ofcials, including race staff, volunteers, emergency
and medical personnel and city ofcials.
There are no age restrictions imposed by the race
committee. It is the parents decision as they will need to
sign a waiver for any child younger than 18.
Runners and walkers should keep an eye
on the risk ags located at the start line and
all mile markers, which indicate the
level of health and safety risk
on the course.
RACE COURSE COLOR CODED FOR SAFETY

HERES WHAT THEY MEAN:
GREEN FLAG:
BLACK FLAG:

people, volunteers, water
stops, police ofcers and
pickup vehicles will remain on
the course.
RED FLAG:
High risk. Be aware that heat
illness is possible. Slow down
and take your time.
ABOUT THE
RACE DIRECTOR
I
n the long run, experience won
out in the choice for a new race
director.
The race committee sought Joel
Sauer to take over every detail of the
event from portable restrooms to
safety to recruiting runners.
He started the Indianapolis Marathon and
Half-Marathon
nearly 20 years ago and has kept it

coming back every year since.
He brought that enthusiasm and
experience to Columbus this year for
the third Mill Race Marathon.

the success from the rst two
years, make improvements where
we can and keep what is working,
he said.

ABOUT THE
COURSE
unners who line up for

the third Mill Race
Marathon and halfmarathon will notice course
changes before they take
their rst step although
the course will remain fast
and at.
Alterations include:
The start and nish
line are now located at
Washington and Sixth
streets.
The course will pass
Columbus East High School
on the west instead of the
east.
The course will add a
loop between 13th and 16th
streets by the Ruddick-Nugent House.
The marathon course
stays with the half-marathon
until a split just before 12
miles. The marathon then
goes on an out-and-back
section for 13 miles rejoining
the half-marathon course at
the split and continuing to
the nish.
The course will be
clearly marked with cones,
signs, marshals and chalked
arrows on the road.
Runners will be conned
to a lane at Central Avenue
and 10th Street and on 17th
Street between Central and
Gladstone avenues so trafc
can still ow.
Race director Joel Sauer
said the rest of the course
hasnt changed much.
My thought was that if
its not broken, dont x it,
he said. It is a nice course
that shows all the different
parts of Columbus.
SITES TO SEE
As you wind through the streets of Columbus, known for its architectural gems,
take a look at these buildings and parks along the race route:
Mill Race Park (MILE 1 of marathon,

half-marathon and Mile 2 of the 5K):
This 85-acre riverfront park, designed
by Michael Van Valkenburgh, was
recognized as one of the top 100
parks in the nation for design, reputation and accessibility.
Robert N. Stewart Bridge (MILE 2 of
marathon, half-marathon): Designed
by J. Muller International, this cablestayed bridge is the rst of its kind in
North America and was completed in
1999.
Columbus Engine Plant (MILE 3 of

marathon and half-marathon): Harry
Weese designed a large manufacturing facility in the 1950s to accommodate large manufacturing, and Kevin
Roche designed an addition in 1998.

marathon and half-marathon): Distinctive
for its mirrored glass faade and its
primary colored accents, the building
houses electronic equipment and was
designed by Paul Kennon in 1978.
First Christian Church (MILE 4 of
marathon and half-marathon): The

design by Eliel Saarinen was the rst
contemporary building in Columbus
and was completed in 1942. Also in
this area are the Cleo Rogers Memorial
Library, the Inn at Irwin Gardens and
St. Peters Lutheran Church.
Cummins Technical Center (MILE 6 of

half-marathon and marathon). Designed
by Harry Weese Associates in 1968, this
facility houses research, development
and testing for the global company
Cummins Inc. There are two buildings.
The most striking is the six-story,

window-wall ofce. The oblong pre-cast
concrete forms above each window
provide sun screening. The striking
design of the greenspace around the
building and the stretch of Haw Creek
Boulevard that runs alongside the creek
was designed by modern landscape
master Daniel Urban Kiley.
Columbus East High School (MILE 8 of

marathon and half-marathon): Designed
by Mitchell-Giurgola Architects in 1972,
the sleek building is sandwiched in a
white skin and rests on 52 acres.

of the half-marathon and marathon).

Designed by architect John Carl
Warnecke, it opened in 1960 and was
converted to an adult education center
in 1982.
Columbus Regional Hospital (MILE 10
of half-marathon and marathon): Two

pavilions, a central lobby and a glass-enclosed dining pavilion are some of the
newer features of the 35-acre campus
designed by Robert A. M. Stern.
Donner Park and Aquatic Center
(MILE 12 of the half-marathon and

marathon). Businessman and philanthropist William H. Donner donated a
plot of land to the city in 1916 to be
used as a community park. In 1923 his
foundation provided funding for a
shelter house where meetings,
reunions and public events could be
staged. In 1948, his foundation made
two nal donations a swimming pool
and a community center.

Arrows will be chalked on the road, pointing runners in

the correct direction at every turn.
A course setup director will drive the entire course, staying
5 to 8 minutes ahead of the lead runners. These directors
will do a visual conrmation of the course setup and will
give course marshals a heads-up that the runners are just a
few minutes back.
The course has been broken into seven segments, and
each 3-mile segment has a separate course director who
will make sure all is well.
Fire Station No. 2 (MILE 19) at Arnold Drive and Ray

Boll Boulevard near Columbus Municipal Airport. It
was completed in 2008 and has the distinction of
being visited by former President Bill Clinton in 2008
when his wife, Hillary, was running for president.

MARATHON YOUTH
Children run in
last years Mill
Race Marathons
Kids Fun Run.
IN IT FOR THE
FUN RUN
ouve heard the bad news. More kids

are getting diabetes. More kids are not
exercising. More kids have their heads
buried in a computer or cellphone.
But Columbus has a tool to combat the
grim statistics of child obesity: the Mill Race
Marathon SIHO 5K and Kids Fun Run.
Healthy Communities, with help from area
elementary schools, last year moved 967
students from the couch to the Fun Run
nish line making it one of the largest
running events for children in the Midwest.
As children from all over darted from the
starting line at last years Kids Fun Run,
most were grinning ear-to-ear.
Healthy Communities is pleased to
sponsor and help organize the annual Kids
Fun Run. All who attend are reminded of
how much kids naturally love to move and we
want them to keep that love of activity for
the rest of their lives. Seeing the smiles of
pride on their faces is very gratifying, said
event organizer Beth Morris.
With the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention reporting one-third of children
and adolescents are overweight or obese in
2012, Jen Shaver said its particularly
important for kids to get involved in activities such as the Fun Run.
Habits developing now will dictate behaviors as adults, said Shaver, community health
and tness director for Foundation for Youth.

MARATHON YOUTH
Youth get incentive to
SIGN UP
L
ast year 967 students participated in the Kids Fun Run, a

success by all accounts.
And organizers said participation in the Mill Race Marathon
and its associated shorter events
also exceeded all expectations,
with about 3,400 people crossing
the nish line.
But theres one age group that
organizer would like to see
increase: teenagers.
Last years event had 250
students ages 18 and younger
participate in the 5K.
The marathon committee has a
goal to reach 500 students in this

MARATHON ART
SHOW YOUR
SUPPORT
Thousands of runners who snaked

through the streets of Columbus
during the rst two Mill Race Marathons had one big and long cheering
section: You.
You shouted words of encouragement
and gave runners a jolt of energy. You
dressed up in wigs and costumes,
sang and danced, and rang cowbells.
You offered up cold drinks. And you
held up homemade signs that were
funny, creative and motivating.
tow
th
SOME EXAMPLES WERE:
Daddy, there are people chasing

you!
You think you can. We know you
can!
Here comes Jon ... there goes Jon.
Touch here for power.
Run fast!
You certainly lived up to your
reputation as a welcoming community. Runners were impressed.
This year, Columbus East High School
students did something unique to
provide inspiration for runners.
Students in Julie Hults contemporary
issues class made posters to be
displayed along the loneliest stretches
of the route, a place Eva Cagwin, the
creator of the poster project, dubbed
Inspiration Mile.
Your head is telling you that you
cant do this. We want to give them a
lift to get them to the next group of
people, Cagwin said.
To make the posters, Hult asked her
students to tap into things that inspire
them personally.
One poster appealed to patriotism
Uncle Sam wants YOU to run
while another went for the fear
factor Run like the police are
after you.
If you are looking for ways to support
the marathon runners, make a sign of
your own. Just think of what inspires
you, transfer the idea to a poster and
let creativity take hold. Stake out
anywhere along the route to offer
encouragement to participants.

Mill Race Marathon
student art contest set a
challenge for participants to
create fresh ideas to capture the
spirit of Columbus and the
fervor of the race.
When they looked at Columbus East High School junior
Rachel Stulls entry, the judges
quickly knew they had a winner.
Stulls computer-created
graphic design serves as the
backdrop for this years ofcial
marathon poster.
Posters for the 5K, halfmarathon and marathon races
will be sold during the marathon weekend, Sept. 25 and 26,
with all proceeds going toward
the Bartholomew Consolidated
School Corp.
As students were creating
their pieces, they were told to
use images, words and symbols.
We asked to students to
draw something that shows a
high level of energy and excitement, said Dave Venable, a
member of the marathon
planning committee and an art
contest judge. The rst two
years we were getting really
caught up in the bridge, so we
wanted to look at something a
little bit more unique.
Keeping those guidelines in
mind, Stull said she created a
design that features a full
Columbus skyline, the silhouette
of a runner, inspirational quotes
about running and a gear to
represent the manufacturing
industry.
The skyline includes several
of the citys architectural
treasures, rather than focusing
on one or two buildings, which

miling runners follow

the Mill Race Marathon.
Macey Goldens handdrawn picture, created in

fourth grade, will be
featured on the ofcial Kids
Fun Run T-shirt, which will
be sold during the marathon weekend, Sept. 25 and
26, with all proceeds going
toward the Bartholomew

The Kids Fun Run
T-shirt contest was open to
all BCSC elementary school
students. Golden, now a
fth-grader at Lillian C.
Schmitt Elementary School,
was among 25 local elementary students to submit
designs in the student art
contest, said Dave Venable,
a member of the marathon
planning committee and an
art contest judge.
Elementary students were
asked to draw their designs
by hand, Venable said.
Entries were judged rst on
basic artistic principles, said
Karen Shrode, contest judge
POSTER FROM PAGE 38

Venable said made Stulls
design stand out.
The judges unanimously
said, This is the winner,
he said.
Stulls decision to include
inspirational quotes in her
poster also set her apart
from other contestants,
Venable said.
The judges were looking
for a design that represented
the equal importance of both
mental and physical preparation, which Stulls entry
exhibited.
and executive director of the

Columbus Area Arts Council.
Theres sort of an
inherent sense of color and
following the theme, Shrode
said of the winning entries.
That theme, Venable
said, was simple in nature,
but difcult to portray.
Although elementary
school students werent
expected to show the same
level of complexity in their
h
contest entries as their high
school counterparts,
Venable said the judges stilll
looked for drawings that
showcased the importance
of the marathon to the city
of Columbus.
Macey said she captured
d
g
that importance by drawing
runners racing past the Mill
ll
Race tower toward the
nish line.
(My teacher) put up a
bunch of pictures of Mill
Race Park, and I just
started drawing based off of
that, she said.
Macey said she never
expected to win but was
thrilled that her picture will
be showcased in a way for the
entire city to see and wear.
What we typically look

for is if the student has
some level of understanding
what it takes to do a
marathon, he said. This
isnt easy to do. This is hard
to do, and runners have
some level of passion. We
want to see if that comes
through in their message.
Stull said she never
expected to win but was
thrilled that her creation
will be featured for the
whole city to see and
perhaps take home as a
remembrance of the event.

POSTERS FOR A
T
PURPOSE
his years Mill Race Marathon

posters offered an extra perk for
participants who registered early.
The posters were divided between
the marathon, half-marathon and 5K
races. Runners who registered by
Sept. 1 had their names listed on the
back of their races poster, said Dave
Venable, a member of the marathon
planning committee.
The winning design for the posters
was created by Columbus East High
School junior Rachel Stull. She created
a design that features a full Columbus
skyline, the silhouette of a runner,
inspirational quotes about running and
a gear to represent the manufacturing
industry.
Its one of those tributes to the
work that the students are doing,
said Venable, who was also a judge for
the student art contest. What theyve
accomplished goes back to help the
school, so its a win-win, and were
happy to do it.
Posters will be sold during the
marathon weekend, Sept. 25 and 26,
with all proceeds going to the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp.
To date weve raised nearly $3,000
to go back to C4 or BCSC, Venable
said. (C4 Director) Gene Hack has a
vision that puts this money toward a
scholarship or special equipment.
Hack said it hasnt been determined
specically how proceeds from this
years posters and T-shirts will be used.
In the past, C4 has shared the money
with other schools in the district, but
Hack said various options are being
discussed.
Hack said he has considered
creating a scholarship, but he doesnt
know yet what that scholarship could
be worth or what it might go toward.
Venable said the marathon committee hopes to sell 200 to 300 posters this
year to raise at least $1,000 for the
district.

ABOUT COLUMBUS
W H AT T O S E E I N
COLUMBUS
INTERNATIONAL CITY
Though located squarely in Americas heartland,
Columbus is truly an international city. People from
all around the world call Columbus home. Currently,
44 native languages are spoken by students in the
public school system.
Much of the areas ethnic diversity stems from the
business community. More than 30 international
companies from countries such as Japan, China,
India, Germany, Korea and Canada have facilities
here.
Cummins Inc., headquartered in Columbus, is a
global company that brings many international
employees to the community.
THE VERY BEST

This has never been a city to settle for good
enough. Columbus is still guided by the vision
expressed in 1964 by the late J. Irwin Miller, former
Cummins chairman and philanthropist.
We would like to see the community come to be
not the cheapest in America, but the very best
community of its size in the country. We would like
to see it become the city in which the smartest, the

ablest, the best young families anywhere would like
to live a community that is open to every race,
color and opinion; that makes them feel welcome
and at home here a community which will offer
their children the best education available anywhere a community of strong, outspoken
churches, of genuine cultural interests, exciting
opportunities for recreation. No such community
can be built without citizens determined to make
their community best.
Fifty years later the city has come a long way
toward fullling Millers vision.
Columbus is ranked sixth in the nation for Innovative Architecture Design by the American Institute of
Architects. It also has been recognized as one of
the 100 Best Small Art Towns in America, one of the
Safest Metropolitan Areas (Americas Safest Cities),
one of the Best Places to Live and Launch a
Business (Fortune Small Business magazine) and
one of the top Historical Places in the World
(National Geographic Traveler magazine).

TREASURES FROM PAGE 45
ARCHITECTURAL TREASURES
Columbus stature as one of the worlds
architectural showcases draws visitors
from around the world. The city is often
referred to as the Athens of the Prairie.
The citys architectural adventure began
with First Christian Church, which Eliel
Saarinen, a Finnish architect, designed at
the request of the congregation. Completed in 1942, it anchors a city block.
Its tower, different from the traditional
steeples of religious buildings, is visible
throughout downtown.
The notion that a small town could be
home to architecturally signicant
buildings was not lost on community
leaders. Through the Cummins Engine
Foundation, and leadership of J. Irwin
Miller, an offer was made to pay the
architectural fees for the design of a
much-needed public school. Later, the
offer was extended for all public buildings if the architects were selected from
a foundation list.
Today there are more than 60 public
and private buildings designed by
notable architects. Columbus is one of
six cities in the United States to have
such a signicant concentration of
buildings by prominent architects.
Lo
Other cities with the distinction are
Boston, New York, Washington,
Chicago and San Francisco.
In 1994 the city was selected as the site
of the Pritzker Architecture Prize award
ceremony.
NOTABLE BUILDINGS
Among the notable structures are
Bartholomew County Public Library, by
I.M. Pei (1969); Cummins Irwin Ofce
Building, Eero Saarinen (1954); Clifty
Creek Elementary School, Richard Meier
(1982); The Republic, Myron Goldsmith
of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (1971);
and St. Peters Lutheran Church (1988)
and Columbus Signature Academy
Lincoln Campus (1967), both Gunnar
Birkerts.
St. Peters Lutheran Church, with a
copper-clad roof, has a 186-foot steeple.
Another famous spire on the horizon is
that of North Christian Church. That
building, designed by Eliel Saarinens
son, Eero, has a 192-foot spire, the
tallest in the city.
Many of the well-known buildings are in
the downtown area, mixed with historic
structures from Columbus early years.
The shops along the citys main street
Washington Street have been
restored or maintained to keep their
historical perspective. The courthouse,
built in 1874, anchors the southern edge

of downtown. Next to it is a limestone
monument to Bartholomew County
veterans who died serving their country.
The old blends with the new as life
moves on.
Its not only the buildings that make up
the interesting Columbus streetscape.
Mill Race Park, built along a ood plain,
was designed to withstand the ooding
that can occur at the conuence of the
Driftwood and Flat Rock rivers. The park
boasts an 84-foot tower and an amphitheater with seating for 500. The park
also has walking trails and a covered
bridge. Mill Race Park was once a a
shanty town located near the river bank,
called Death Valley. It existed from the
early 1900s until it was demolished in the
late 1960s to make way for the creation
of Mill Race Park.
Across the street, Cummins Inc. occupies a three-block complex. The Fortune
500 companys Corporate Ofce
Building is one of the citys architectural
highlights. The part that is currently the
cafeteria was once the Cerealine factory
which produced the rst boxed cereal in
the U.S. beginning in 1884.
Fine lines, cornice stones and creative
vision make Columbus what it is today.

CENTER FOR ART + DESIGN

The Indiana University Center for Art +
Design opened in 2011 as a joint effort of
Indiana University in Bloomington,
Columbus Community Education
Coalition and the community of Columbus to teach design in its broadest
application and extend it into many
disciplines.
While IUCA+D is not in itself a school, it
operates as an off-site extension for
other schools. With Columbus as a living
laboratory, those who want to study
various design disciplines are drawn to
the offerings of IUCA+D.
Located downtown at 310 Jackson St.
(the northwest corner of Jackson and

Third streets), the 7,000-square-foot facility holds a studio, a classroom and
exhibition gallery. The gallery houses the
work of three to ve different artists each

This multifunctional civic centers history is more than 40
years old. Designed by Cesar Pelli, it was completed in
1973. The Commons reopened in 2011 after being torn
down and redesigned. The Boston-based planning and
design rm Koetter Kim & Associates and Indianapolisbased CSO Architects designed the new-look Commons,
and the Cummins Inc. ofce building connected to it.
The Commons includes restaurants, a performance
space, conference center, garden and childrens play
area. It was designed with a signicant amount of space
between the faade and the street, so as to encourage
people to linger and interact, in keeping with the atmosphere of the overall riverfront district now evolving. The
Commons is home to one of the communitys most iconic
pieces of public art, Chaos I by Swiss sculptor Jean
Tinguely.
With its award-winning programming and ever changing exhibits, the Bartholomew County History Center offers
something for everyone. Visit the museum to have your

The museum is located next to Columbus
Municipal Airport, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tuesdays through Saturdays (closed on
Sundays and Mondays) and admission is free.
Bakalar Air Force Base, originally known as
Atterbury Air Base, opened in February, 1943. It
was used as a training base for crews of B-25
and B-26 Bombers, C-46 and C-47 Transport
Aircraft and CG-4 Gliders during World War II.
The base was closed from 1946 until mid-1949,
but during the Cold War the base reopened and
four troop carrier squadrons were based here.
Bakalar was closed by the Department of
Defense in January 1970, the City of Columbus
received the title in 1972 and it was renamed
Columbus Municipal Airport in 1982. Exhibits

include scale aircraft, World War II glider pilots,
Tuskegee Airmen, barracks, art, Columbus
manufacturers and more.

Zaharakos is characterized as an ice cream

it would be hard to overstate its status for over
100 years as a Columbus institution. That is
what makes its 2009 renovation, so apparent in
every detail, such a labor of love.
The original marble and onyx countertop and
soda fountain, mahogany woodwork and Welte
Orchestrion, a giant music box, are all back.
The museum side is a treasure trove of artifacts
from the heyday of the great American ice
cream parlor.
