The race focuses on raising awareness and supporting research for Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, and related disorders. The organizing foundation, established in 2007, later licensed Bobby Jones’s name. It reports funding over $6 million for education and research. On race day, 5K participants receive shirts and finisher medals. Fundraisers are eligible for additional prizes, attracting timed runners, walkers, supporters, and families involved with the foundation’s mission.
