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 features a USTAF distance-certified, multi-surface course that includes a high school stadium track, asphalt, fine gravel running trail, and boardwalk, making it flat and fairly fast. Participants are advised to wear multi-surface shoes.

Proceeds from the race support the Will Haney Foundation Scholarship program, which aids cancer patients and families, funds cancer research—especially childhood cancer and Rhabdomyosarcoma—and provides scholarships for nursing students. The event fosters a supportive atmosphere dedicated to honoring the memory of Will Haney and helping those affected by cancer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
