"We are thrilled to continue our partnerships with Houma Family Dental as our Presenting Donor and to have the continued support of Scorpion Subsea as a Premier Donor. Without their support this race would not raise the funds that it does and we are hoping to continue to raise for our Track & Field and Cross Country program," said Stefanie Slekis, Nicholls Track and Cross Country head coach. "This year we are thrilled to partner with SPA to offer free entry to all currently enrolled Nicholls Students. All student entries are eligible for awards. SPA has also added some color pop to our run! SPA will have several colored powder stations that will "pop" throughout the race. We hope this is a feature that our student and community member participants enjoy."

Prize packages will be awarded to top Male & Female overall finishers and top Male & Female masters finishers in addition to medals featuring this year's design. Male and Female age group winners will be recognized with medals featuring this year's race design as well. 

Race Day Registration is available for $30, but race t-shirts are not guaranteed.
