This race is held each year the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend in honor of Rocky Zanowick who was from Miamisburg and who died while serving his country. In 2017 this race had Team Fastrax skydivers jump in the American flag to the start the race. If you were there, you know it was amazing. If you weren't there, you should come this year. You will be proud to be an American!
