On the day of the event, the fee became $25.00. Entrants received a tee-shirt and refreshments. Those interested were asked to contact Darryl ZMOLEK or Greg Hermiston. (1) More than 400 participated in the event. (2)
In 2024 construction on the South Grandview overpass led the route of the run to be altered. The run had always started and finished at Murphy Park, but now instead of the turnaround occurring at WASHINGTON MIDDLE SCHOOL the race began at Murphy Park and then headed east around the buildings at Mount Carmel Bluffs. Participants then headed west on South Grandview west Murphy Park to Julien Dubuque Drive for another turnaround. This path on South Grandview passed Murphy Park and repeated the Mount Carmel Bluffs part of the run ending at Murphy Park.
