The Bre’s Run Half Marathon in Bourbon, Indiana, honors the memory of Breanna Lemler, who passed away in summer 2016. Now in its 9th year, the event returns on Saturday, July 12, 2025, offering a heartfelt mix of races—the half marathon, 5K, and mile fun run—supporting the Breanna Lemler Memorial Scholarship.
The half marathon begins at 7:00 AM EDT, starting and finishing at Triton Junior–Senior High School (300 Triton Dr). The certified, all-paved loop runs through quiet residential streets before a celebratory final lap around the school track. Six well-placed water stations ensure hydration and support.
It’s a small-town, tight-knit affair where community spirit shines: packet pickup begins at 6 AM, awards for the half start around 11 AM followed by a silent auction, and local volunteers create a supportive race-day atmosphere.
Though formal race reviews are currently unavailable, organizers and past participants describe the vibe as “uplifting” and “community‑centered,” with the 5K and mile fun run drawing families and neighbors in festive support.
