Event History
This event originated as a charity run to support the children and families of Marines and Sailors affected by the 1983 terrorist bombing in Beirut, Lebanon. First held in 1984 as the Beirut Relief 10K Run, it attracted over 500 participants and raised over $4,000 for a Marine Corps scholarship fund. Proceeds now benefit non-profit children's organizations in the Pensacola area. Since 2014, the race has been organized by the Marine Corps League, Cpl J. R. Spears Detachment 066.
