COLUMBUS, Ind. — One of the rewards awaiting participants as they cross the finish line of this year’s Mill Race Marathon, half-marathon and 5K competitions is ready.

Mill Race Marathon, the not-for-profit organization that oversees the event, which will be Sept. 28, has released new-look medals that will be given to every participant who finishes one of this year’s races.

The medals for each event feature an engraving of the Robert N. Stewart Bridge, formerly the Second Street Bridge, with the Bartholomew County Courthouse and First Christian Church tower in the background.

Please read Saturday’s edition of The Republic for more details.
