Please also note that all profits from the race will go towards a fund supporting college track and field programs that have recently been cut and are trying to get reinstated. We have contracted a campaign manager, Russell Dinkins, to provide leadership and guidance to recently cut programs. Dinkins, along with several others, was instrumental in helping Brown University Men's Track and Field gain reinstatement recently. His experience and knowledge acquired from the Brown University campaign is crucial in helping coordinate campaign efforts for other recently cut men's track and field programs—Minnesota and William and Mary.
And, there will no doubt be more programs at risk of being cut. Our aim is to raise enough money to continue supporting Russell Dinkins in his efforts to save other college track and field programs in the future.
