The Race Start Time is 9 a.m., and the post-race party and awards will begin immediately after the last runner finishes.

Mrs. Peterson, an international student from Sri Lanka, graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a degree in Business Administration. She is fondly remembered by her former coworkers and friends in the community for her outgoing personality and smile.
The Xylia Peterson ’85 Memorial Fund was established in Mrs. Peterson’s memory to provide international education scholarships to full-time junior and senior international students at Fredonia. Donations to the fund are tax deductible. The event is hosted by the International Education Center and Race Coordinators are Ashley Enekes, Pilar Nelson, Katrina Hamilton-Kaft and Mary Sasso.
