Event Details

The race features a team-based structure with a focus on camaraderie. Participants are randomly assigned to color-coded teams: runners to one of six colored teams and walkers to one of two colored teams. The race uses a staggered start system based on age and gender to even out team competition. The event includes chip timing.

Origin

The event was created to honor Joshua Shepherd, a service member who died in a 2008 B-52 crash, and other fallen military personnel. The race director initiated the event to commemorate a friend and promote values of friendship and perseverance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
