About the Run
The run was started by a group of Loyola alumni and friends in 1994 to honor Billy Korrow, who passed away in 1993 as a seventh grader here at Loyola. Billy was the son of longtime Loyola faculty member Mr. Bill Korrow. Subsequently, a sholarship fund was founded in 1998 to carry on Billy's legacy, and this annual race is the largest fundraising component for the scholarship, which is given to a rising seventh grader and a rising ninth grader who are academically gifted and show the spirit that Billy had in his time at Loyola. Over 50 students have received this scholarship. This event is very popular among our community, and it draws a big crowd every year from current students to faculty, staff, alumni, and families past and present.
