The HeARTland Hustle
Marea Radcliff Park
Paoli, Indiana Saturday, April 13, 2019
The first annual event will serve the community as both a run/walk and an outdoor art exhibit featuring original works inspired by outer space and the exploration thereof. This theme is in honor of Margaret Hamilton, the computer scientist who developed the software used in the Apollo space program and moon landing operations from 1969 to 1972. Ms. Hamilton, a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient and Paoli Native, is also the subject of a permanent mural to be unveiled in conjunction with the HeARTland Hustle event.
There are many ways to participate in the event! Runners, walkers and exercise enthusiasts of all kinds can register for the race. Artists of all ages and experience levels, from youth to professional, are encouraged to submit art for the exhibit; all artists will be credited for their work. Winners of the race from each age group, along with top fundraising teams, will be recognized at the race’s conclusion. The day’s festivities will also include various forms of entertainment, music and guest speakers. Kids ages 12 and under may participate in the race FREE OF CHARGE.
