The mile-long race is held every year in Burnside, and all of the proceeds from the race go towards purchasing a pair of running shoes for track athletes at high schools in the surrounding area. With the help of the race, athletes are able to run in a pair of shoes that are durable and provide stability for day-to-day running.
The high schools involved in the program each year are Wayne County, Russell County, McCreary Central, Pulaski County, Southwestern, Somerset Christian, and Somerset.
