This race was started in 2007 in memory of Damon Young. Damon passed away from kidney cancer in 2006 at 24 years old. He loved nature and spent countless hours exploring the land where he grew up. He hoped to have a yearly race in his memory to raise money for a scholarship fund that would benefit Tunkhannock High School graduating seniors. We’re so excited to be hosting this race on the land Damon loved so much!
