This impactful 3K event, held on the scenic Kentucky State University campus, begins and ends at the Exum Center parking lot. While specific course terrain and elevation details are not provided, a university setting typically offers a runner-friendly, accessible route, perfect for all skill levels.

Participants are invited to join over 450 expected attendees, including KSU alumni, students, and community members, for an empowering experience that culminates in a lively Health Fair.
