Participating charities include Lost Voices, The Corner Health Center, Ozone House and Mood Lifters.

The event will feature a full marathon of 26.2 miles, which can be run individually or as a four-person relay, as well as a half marathon of 13.1 miles, a 10K and a 5K.

All races end at the same location.
