7th Annual Carmel Marathon

This past Saturday, Miss Indiana contestants from across the state fought the cold temps and high winds to volunteer at the 7th Annual Carmel Marathon.

We arrived around 5:30am and immediately got to work! We unwrapped food, unwrapped medals, and prepared the tables for the upcoming races. The interested part of this event was that all races were ran at the same time: the 5K, 8K, half and full marathon all ran consecutively. To say the least, we didn't have trouble staying busy!

We congratulated runners as the crossed the finish line, handed out medals, gave runners heat blankets and water bottles, and maintained our smiles the entire time. It was motivational to see so many runners reach their personal goals that morning.

Overall, it was a great way to kick off the weekend! I was able to spend 5+ hours with Miss Indiana girls, what more could I ask for?
