Mini Marathon Triumph Through Corona Storm

Posted on by

Butler staff member, Juan Buitron, has been working out in readiness for the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. He recently received unwelcome news of the event’s cancellation.  Juan was informed officials would award shirts and medals to registrants who completed the race on their own.  He decided to make the attempt right then, right there in Fishers, IN. Taking matters into his own hands, he experienced his own neighborhood “Mini” including a cheering section and finish line.  Juan triumphed, running the 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 26 minutes!  Heartiest congratulations!
