Race features and charity
The event is a fundraiser for the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Fund. One hundred percent of proceeds are directed to the Andrew Graham Semper Fi Scholarship at Bunker Hill Community College. The fund is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization created to honor a U.S. Marine corporal and was founded in 2012.
The 5K course is USA Track & Field distance certified, is flat, and does not require crossing any streets. Race features include chip timing, a digital finish-line time display, awards for top finishers (top three men and top three women) and age-group prizes, free snacks and sponsor swag, and long-sleeved technical shirts and other items available for purchase. A referral bonus offers a $20 refund if five friends sign up using a registrant's unique referral code. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
