The 13-hour, 140-mile trek is more than a training and team-building exercise, it's a chance for the team, men and women, to give something back to the community. Each runner, there are more than 40 of them, is asked to raise $140 through sponsorships from their high school coaches, families, friends and former employers at a dollar-per-mile. In the past, the event has raised approximately $7,000 for charities such as the United Way, the Dick Howser Center for Childhood Services Inc., the Red Cross's September 11th Relief Fund and Capital City Youth Services.
