11th Annual Kevin O'Sullivan Classic 5k
The Kevin O'Sullivan Classic 5k is a fundraising event held at Concord University in Athens, West Virginia. All proceeds from the race benefit the Five Aces Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to students at Concord University who are in good academic standing but facing temporary financial setbacks.
Participants can choose from the following event distances:
- 5k run
- 3k walk
- 800 meter Kids Fun Run
- Virtual 5k option
The in-person races start and finish at the Concord University Callaghan Stadium Track and Field. The event features two Irish-themed water stations along the course with music and support. A virtual participation option is also available for those who wish to complete their chosen distance remotely and submit photos.
Awards ceremonies are held following the completion of the physical races at the Leslie R. and Ruby Webb Carter Center gymnasium. T-shirts are guaranteed for the first 100 registrants or those who register by the early March deadline. The event is a member of the Southern West Virginia Road Runners Club (SWVRRC) Four Seasons Series, which tracks points for regional runners across multiple local events.
