The annual Geist Half Marathon & 5K, a community tradition now in its 18th year, is set to take place on Sept. 12, 2026. 

Fishers fixed the 5k course for a better running experience, but the half marathon course is the same.

Either way, you’re in for stunning views of Geist Reservoir.

There will also be virtual events, which you can sign up for here

The Geist Half Marathon & 5K is a Fishers tradition. Central themes include:

  • Health

  • Wellness

  • Community building

What’s cool is the event is now co-run by the City of Fishers.

The partnership hopes to bring an engaging experience for participants, spectators, and volunteers. 

Volunteering in Fishers is easy, and there are many slots to fill (500 volunteers are needed). 

Here's a guide we wrote on how to get started.
