This annual running event is entering its fifth year and brings together participants from across the local city and surrounding regions. The event features a single distance for participants:

The race is organized through the collaborative efforts of the Omega Scholarship and Benevolence Fund (OSBF) and the Alpha Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. These organizations operate as community leaders to support local educational and service initiatives.
