Event Format
The event features a format where participants start a new lap on the hour, every hour. Each lap is a 5k course on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Participants can choose to run a single lap or multiple laps.
After-Lap Activities
After completing each lap, the event provides activities including games, raffles, and vendors. A big screen will show football games. Participants are advised to bring a lawn chair and snacks.
Fundraising and Raffles
Proceeds from the event benefit OVC Kenya, a program that partners with local churches in Kenya to provide physical, academic, and relational support to vulnerable children.
Each lap is sponsored by a local business and has a corresponding raffle prize. Completing a lap within 55 minutes earns one raffle ticket for that lap's prize. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased to benefit the OVC Kenya program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
