The event offers a family-friendly, chip-timed race for both runners and walkers, on a course that blends pavement and gravel paths past campus landmarks like the Catafount fountain and Alumni Tower. Proceeds support the Sport Management Association Scholarship Fund.

After the race, participants can enjoy the Mountain Heritage Day festival’s 50th anniversary celebration with live music, demonstrations, food, and crafts, with free admission. Awards cover overall and age groups, and early registrants receive a race T-shirt, with timing by Right On Time Productions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
