Male and female champions will be crowned in five divisions with all races at one mile except a children's half-mile event. This is the eighth year for the races to be held on Adam Brown Road, in front of Lake Hamilton school, on the former U.S. Highway 70.
Late registration Saturday is from 7 a.m.-8:30 a.m. at the east end of Adam Brown Road. Running a mostly straight course with slight rolling hills, open males and females begin at 8 a.m., followed by masters (over 40) at 8:20 a.m, varsity boys (grades 10-12) at 8:40 a.m. varsity girls at 9 a.m., junior-high boys (grades 7-9) at 9:20 a.m. and junior-high girls at 9:40 a.m. Ages 12 and under run a half-mile at 10 a.m.

The races began on the former Owens Road (now Aldridge Road) east of Lake Hamilton School. They are named in honor of a Lake Hamilton High graduate who served with the U.S. Navy SEALS and was killed in action in Afghanistan in March 2010. While assaulting an enemy compound, Brown placed himself in the line of fire to protect other members of his unit.
