Race of Champions

The Will Haney Foundation Race of Champions is an annual 5K event held in Athens, Alabama, at the Athens High School Football Stadium. The race supports the Will Haney Foundation Scholarship program, which aids cancer patients and their families, funds cancer research—especially childhood cancer and Rhabdomyosarcoma—and provides scholarships for nursing students. The course is USTAF distance certified and features a multi-surface route including a high school stadium track, asphalt, fine gravel trail, and boardwalk.

It is flat and fairly fast, recommending multi-surface shoes for participants. Proceeds from the race help further the foundation's charitable mission. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
