MEET THE GEIST HALF RACE SERIES AMBASSADORS

Introducing the Geist Half Series Ambassadors – 14 rockstar runners who are passionate about running, healthy living, and sharing their enthusiasm for the sport! Our Ambassadors will spread the word about the Geist Half Marathon, 10K & 5K, and encourage people of all abilities and interests to join the fun.

Get to know our Ambassadors by reading about their must-have running gear, music choices that fuel their runs, and their favorite parts of the Geist course!

SARA FARNY

I’m a wife and mom to three boys, so running has helped me keep up with them! I started running consistently right after having my second son and haven’t looked back. Running helped me find a community of people that I missed as a stay-at-home mom. It also gave me an outlet for stressful days. The Geist races have always been a family favorite. My husband runs in every Geist 5k. I have only missed two years due to having our sons in May, right before the races. I look forward to races and enjoy working toward a goal year after year.

MAX GLENN

I’m originally from Kirksville, MO but came to Indiana six years ago by way of Cleveland, OH (long story, Go Buckeyes). I’ve been running off and on since my teenage years as a physical practice of actor training (I was an actor in a past life) and now I just love the way it lets me be competitive with myself and meet so many people unique people.

LYNN HARTLEY

My husband, Jeff, and I live in Pendleton, Indiana, with our three boys. I am an elementary school teacher and each year I work with my class on creating a bucket list for the year. In 2019, I added “Run the Mini Marathon” to my bucket list. I laced up, trained my butt off (I despised running before this), had my kids sign a pair of cotton socks the day before the race (this

makes me laugh now because I can’t believe I ran in cotton socks for 13.1 miles), and ran the race – not only for them, but for me. I’ve been running races ever since and now have a medal rack in my classroom to show students what they can accomplish if they chase a dream.

COREY JOHNSON

I’m a current Fishers resident and have been since 2009. My wife and I have two great kids who have both started their running journeys in track and cross country! I started my running in 2012 to get back into a healthy level of fitness. I remember my first 5k, The NFL play60 run when the Super Bowl was being held in Indy. I had no idea what I was doing but I found a love for running even if I blew up two miles into it. By 2013 I’d completed two full marathon and full Ironman tri. Since then, I’ve ran numerous half and full marathons, many half ironman’s and two full Ironman triathlons. As my kids have started their sports journey, I’ve moved to just focusing on running as supporting them is super important to me. I’ll be racing the Geist Half in my build for The New York City Marathon running for Team For Kids charity and Rim to Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon.

TRACIE NEBRICH

I have been a resident of Fishers for the past 16 years where I reside with my husband and two college sons. I had dabbled in running for a few years but didn’t start taking it seriously until 14 years ago. Since then, I have completed more than 53 half marathons, 12 full marathons, seven ultras, and numerous 10k’s and 5k’s. I’m very passionate about my two jobs. I’m a flight attendant so travel is definitely in my blood. I especially love to run when I reach a new destination. I’m also a run coach so helping others achieve their running goals is amazing!

COREY QUEEN

I live in Crestwood, KY (right outside of Louisville), and I am also a middle school Track & Field AND Cross Country Coach. I am also a certified RRCA Running Coach and I started my running coaching company, Queen Running Company. In my 15 years as a Runner, have survived: a Stress Induced Heart Attack, two shoulder surgeries; Spinal Fusion Surgery, and spending all of 2021 as a Long Haul Covid patient and Bariatric Surgery. Running has helped me through SO MUCH!

JON WADE

I am an RRCA Certified Running Coach, but I wasn’t always a runner. It was around age 26 when I started training at a Muay Thai gym in Oceanside, CA. I learned how poor my cardio and endurance really were. Fast forward a few years, I moved back home to Indianapolis and got talked into running my first race, the Mini Marathon. The idea of running 13.1 miles at the time seemed out of reach, but I’m always up for a challenge. The training was fun, disorganized, inconsistent, and discouraging all at the same time, but I made it. This was my first experience at any road race, and from that day forward, I was hooked.

CARLY TRULOCK-QUINN

Running has been a major part of my life since I was 10 years old. I fell in love with cross country and track & field in school, and that passion for running has only grown. I’ve always loved that running is so individual, but simultaneously so collective. We are all out there to chase our own goals, going up against our old self, but working and struggling together to achieve these individual goal. The community that is built around running is uniquely genuine and I’m so thankful to be a part of it.

EVAN TAYLOR

I live in Lawrence with my wife and son. I discovered running during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. I spent most of my athletic career playing basketball but wanted an energetic outlet and a community among Black men. My wife mentioned a group called Black Men Run, so I decided to meet up with the group for a Saturday morning run. Once the run was over, I talked for hours with other men in the group and I was hooked. This was the community I was seeking. Running became a statement that I belong, am worthy of being in this country, on this road, and am free to run. I was eventually invited to my first race, the Shelbyville Meltdown. A member from Black Men Run asked me to join so he wouldn’t be the only Black man participating. We had a great time and I placed second. Since then, I’ve experienced so much support from other runners and observers. I hope to further encourage more Black men to run for their health and for the bond of brotherhood.

MURPHYS PUBHOUSE ADDS SPEAKEASY VIBE AND SOPHISTICATION TO GEIST DINING

Writer / Amie Drudge

Walk into Murphys PubHouse in Fishers on any given day and you’re greeted by smiling, familiar faces ready to serve up fantastic food, a fresh cocktail, or an ice-cold beer. Tucked just off Olio Road on the east side of town, this neighborhood favorite blends the comfort of a local gathering spot with the energy of a bustling restaurant.

Owner Ryan Stonebraker has perfected a “Cheers”like atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back and newcomers feeling instantly at home. His roots in Indiana’s restaurant scene run deep — stretching back to the 1950’s when his granddad Orville co-owned The Huddle, and then to his brothers opening Murphy’s Steakhouse on North Keystone Avenue. Today, Ryan and his brother carry that tradition forward, offering not just a great meal but a community hub where memories are made.

AND NOW, HE’S RAISED THE BAR AGAIN — LITERALLY.

Inside Murphys PubHouse sits The Barstoner Lounge, a stylish, speakeasyinspired hideaway that’s unlike anything else in Fishers. With shareable small plates, rotating chef-driven specials, craft cocktails, top-shelf tequila and bourbon, and a design that’s equal parts chic and inviting, it’s a place where you can’t help but “Feel Good”— a message painted boldly across the wall as a reminder.

Every detail here tells a story: a striking wall mural designed by Ryan himself, a chandelier hung high enough for Ryan’s longtime friend and former Pacer Vern Fleming to stroll under, and the sound waves on the wall that welcome you in.

“I had my customers — who have become my friends — in mind when I designed this place,” he says. “It’s for them. I want them to enjoy it.”

Each of the four Murphys locations offers a familiar menu of crowd-pleasers, but The Barstoner Lounge brings its own monthlychanging lineup, keeping a few signature staples to satisfy: Egg Salad Parmesan, Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders, and a Double Chocolate Espresso Martini — the kind of indulgences worth ordering twice.

Even the kitchen has expanded, with the addition of a pizza oven that powers Barstoner’s Pizza — a “ghost kitchen” concept offering online-only pies. True to Murphys style, the recipes are chosen by a panel of judges made up of the restaurant’s own loyal waitstaff.

From its Olio Road dining room to its secret-lounge sophistication, Murphys PubHouse is more than just a place to eat — it’s a place to connect, celebrate, and savor the flavors of community.

Barstoner’s will be open seven days a week at 6 p.m. on September 2. Join Ryan and staff for their grand opening bash on September 20.

RELATIONSHIPS

MARCH FOR A MATCH

GEIST MAN WALKS TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR KIDNEY DONATION

Writer / Amie Drudge

The coffee shop is full of friends meeting friends, co-workers meeting co-workers, and people running in for a quick cup of energy. D. Scott Goodwin, an electrical engineer and 20-year resident of Geist/ Fishers, is here for a different reason.

He walks in and scans the bustling place of business. He is carrying two phones, and he is looking for me. Our eyes meet — cautious, anxious — and we slowly walk

toward each other. I reach out, shake his hand, introduce myself, and we sit. He isn’t here for a jolt of caffeine or to discuss work. He is here because he is dying. He is looking for someone — anyone — who can donate a kidney so that he can live another day.

Scott has polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic condition he inherited from his father, and is in stage 4 kidney failure. The disease causes cysts to grow on and inside

the kidneys until eventually, the cysts take over and shut down kidney function entirely.

He has known this since the age of 14, when a pickup game of football turned into an ER visit that would change the course of his life. Since that day, Scott has educated himself on how to live a healthy lifestyle, determined to squeeze every last day of function from his kidneys. He has done all the right things — a healthy diet and exercise — but his clock is ticking, and he feels it.

At the age of 54, Scott is sick and tired. But to raise awareness, he has decided he is going to walk the Geist 10K this year. This won’t be his first time. He ran the Geist 10K in 2016, and the Geist Half in 2018 and 2019. But this year, with his dwindling health, the stakes are much higher.

In 2022, when Scott’s family members were ruled out as donors and when his kidneys took a significant turn for the worse, he began a mission to do all he could to save his own life. He reached out to the PKD Foundation and quickly realized that, although the foundation does amazing work, it isn’t set up to help individual people like himself.

So he made it his mission to raise awareness about the disease — thus his reason for walking the Geist 10K.

“A lot of people are suffering,” he says. “Some are worse than me and cannot advocate for themselves. I am in a position right now — today — that I can help them. I am not going to be in this position for long. When I start dialysis, which could be any day now, things will look different for me. Right now, I can make a difference,

and that is why I am walking — to raise awareness while I can.”

Awareness means knowing that you can sign up to donate a kidney, and even if you aren’t a match for Scott, you could be a match for someone else. Awareness means knowing that you could be a living donor — a living person can donate one kidney. The body has two and can function well with just one.

Awareness means knowing that there is a voucher program so that living donors can be readily available to people like him. Awareness means that PKD could take the life of this father to daughters Kaitlin, Madilin and Avalin, of this husband of 30 years to Christina, of this son, and it could steal from this earth a human being who lives in our amazing community. Awareness means that you could make a difference.

Scott and his army will be walking across Geist Bridge, holding up handmade signs with words that make the world a better

place: kindness, love, justice, peace. He didn’t want to draw attention to himself, so Scott chose words that put the focus on others.

A lifelong lover of music, he and the Goodwin Transplant Army will march to create awareness of PKD — and most importantly, to save the life of their good friend.

As we finish up our interview, one of Scott’s phones rings. He quickly looks down at both phones and sees that it is his daughter calling. He picks up the other flip phone that isn’t ringing and holds it up to show me.

“This is my kidney phone,” he says. “When this one rings, there’s a match.”

If you would like to become a living donor, or if you know someone who would, scan the QR code to register with the National Kidney Registry.

FORTVILLE LAUNCHES DESIGNATED OUTDOOR REFRESHMENT AREA (DORA) TO BOOST DOWNTOWN ECONOMY

The Town of Fortville has officially joined a growing number of Indiana communities in adopting a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). Following a unanimous vote by the Fortville Town Council in December 2024, and final approval by the Indiana State Alcohol and Tobacco Commission on July 1, 2025, the Fortville DORA is now in effect — bringing new energy and economic opportunity to the heart of downtown.

WHAT IS A DORA?

A Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) allows patrons aged 21 and older to buy alcoholic beverages from approved businesses and consume them within the DORA’s boundaries. Beverages can be enjoyed outdoors, at downtown events, or while shopping at participating retailers.

WHY A DORA?

Many cities and towns have already taken advantage of the Indiana legislation allowing them to establish a DORA. The town’s goal is to facilitate a vibrant setting that promotes economic development and enhances the overall downtown Fortville experience.

BENEFITS OF A DORA

• Boost Tourism in Downtown Fortville

• New Revenue Source for Restaurants and Bars

• Increased Revenue and Spending in Retailers within the DORA Boundaries

• Boost to Local Economy via Increase in Food and Beverage Tax Revenue

• Easier Process for Organizations Hosting Downtown Events in the DORA

FAQ

Will businesses be required to post a sign to help notify customers of their DORA participation?

Fortville will require the posting of signs by retailer permittees participating in the DORA so that a person will know whether they can enter the business with an open container of alcohol. Non-participating business owners will have the option to place a sign indicating whether DORA refreshments are allowed.

What “to-go” cups will the permittees use?

Designated Permittees and Vendors shall only use the designated clear plastic cup with the DORA logo printed on it. The designated cup style and logo will be made available to all Designated Permittees and Vendors upon finalization to ensure uniformity. Glass containers are not permitted in the DORA.

What contents are permitted in the “to-go” alcoholic beverages?

The open container contents may not exceed:

• 16 ounces of beer or flavored malt beverages

• 12 ounces of wine, cider, or hard seltzer

• 10-ounce mixed drink containing no more than 2 ounces of liquor

How many “to-go” alcoholic beverages are permitted to enter or leave a business?

A Designated Permittee or a Vendor may allow a person to enter or exit their premises within the DORA with not more than two open alcoholic beverages.

May I leave in a motorized vehicle with my “to-go” alcoholic beverages?

Possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle in the DORA district boundary may constitute a Class C infraction under IC 9-30-15.

Any business within the boundaries of the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area who would like to participate may complete the DORA Application and submit it to the Town of Fortville’s Community Outreach contact, Andy Williams, awilliams@fortville.in.gov, vfor Town Council approval.

CHEERS TO EDDY’S

NEW OWNERS BRING FRESH IDEAS WHILE PRESERVING THE SPIRIT OF A BELOVED GEIST STAPLE

Writer / Renée Larr

For Diana Miller and Ryan Hockemeyer, stepping into ownership of Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill wasn’t just a business decision — it was a heartfelt commitment to community, hospitality and continuity. The beloved Geist-area staple has long been a local favorite, and the new owners are determined to preserve its welcoming spirit while bringing fresh energy and ideas to the table.

“We fell in love with the place,” says Hockemeyer, who grew up in the area and recalls eating at Eddy’s as a kid. “It’s the kind of spot where everyone knows your name. It just felt like home.”

The pair’s partnership evolved naturally. Hockemeyer’s professional background includes 22 years in the food industry, focusing on distribution and operations,

while Miller’s expertise lies in customer service and sales. The two became close through their families, with Miller’s husband and Hockemeyer working together for more than a decade. Eventually, they began looking for the right opportunity to go into business together. When they learned through a mutual friend that previous owners James and Michele Jalall were considering selling Eddy’s, it felt like fate.

The Jalalls were ready to retire, and selling the restaurant was a significant part of the plan. They say they cannot begin to thank all of their devoted customers and staff.

“When taking over Eddy’s almost seven years ago, we had no idea how hard it would be to let it go,” the Jalalls say. “That being said, we found two people to carry it forward and make it better. Eddy’s will always be the Cheers of Geist Reservoir.”

But buying the restaurant wasn’t a quick transaction — it was a thoughtful one.

“James spent seven months getting to know us,” Hockemeyer says. “He told us he wasn’t going to sell to just anyone. He wanted to make sure the next owners valued what Eddy’s means to this community.”

Miller says James made it clear he didn’t want someone to come in and change everything or turn it into a commercial chain.

“He saw in us that we respected the heart of the restaurant and wanted to build on that, not replace it,” she says.

And build they have. Since taking the reins, Miller and Hockemeyer have made subtle but impactful updates, starting with a new point-of-sale system to streamline operations and improve customer service. They’ve also introduced themed weekly specials like Taco Tuesdays, Half-Price Wine Wednesdays paired with pasta, and Kids Eat Free Mondays. A seasonal rotating menu and the long-awaited return of brunch are in the works.

“Any changes we make are meant to complement the core of Eddy’s, not change it,” Miller says. “We’ve spent the first few weeks just listening to customers and staff, and asking what they love and what they’d like to see.”

Staff retention has been a top priority, and the results speak for themselves.

“We had zero turnover,” Miller adds. “The team here is amazing, and we’re so thankful to have inherited a staff that’s not only skilled but genuinely cares about the customers and the restaurant.”

The pair plans to bring back beloved community events like trivia, karaoke and euchre night, and they’re exploring opportunities for local partnerships and sponsorships, drawing on past involvement with organizations like the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville.

And there’s more to come — including dockside service for boaters on Geist, DoorDash delivery and a grand opening celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the spring.

“We’re calling it our ‘revamp season,’” Hockemeyer says.

Through it all, the duo remains focused on fostering a fun and inclusive environment, both for guests and employees.

“We have a no-tolerance policy for negativity,” Miller says. “We want our team to love coming to work — because when they’re happy, it flows out to our guests.”

As longtime fans of the restaurant themselves, the new owners understand what makes Eddy’s special — and they’re honored to be entrusted with carrying it forward.

“We’re not trying to reinvent Eddy’s,” Hockemeyer says. “We’re here to help it grow, evolve and stay a place where everyone feels welcome.”

Eddy’s is located at 11693 Fall Creek Rd. For more information, visit eddysatgeist.com.
