The Rotary Young Leaders Club of Vincennes is hosting what they hope to be the first of many half marathons in Indiana’s first city. With the goal of promoting a healthy lifestyle within Knox County and surrounding cities whilst also raising funds for local charities and organizations within the community, the Historical Half Marathon will highlight many of the first city’s historic landmarks not only by having participants move past them but also through auditory listening devices.
There will also be a 5K and a Kids Fun Run for people to participate in.
For more information about the Half Marathon and/or to register, click HERE.

Join Master Naturalist Terri Talarek King for a casual winter walk on Sunday, February 13, at
Ouabache Trails Park (just north of Vincennes, Indiana, at the end of Lower Fort Knox Road).
Participants will meet in front of the park office at 2:00 pm Eastern, then begin the walk nearby on
Trail 1.
This is a good time of year to see the “bones” of the landscape and trees, to observe wildlife that may
be out and about, to look for places where some are still overwintering, and to look for the earliest
signs of spring.
This walk, the first of the 2022 series of Second Sunday Nature Exploration Walks, is free, with no
registration required. All are welcome and families are encouraged. Emphasis on all walks is on
observation, exploration, and discovery. Walks proceed rain, shine, or snow. Be prepared for wet areas
and some steep slopes.
