The event is open to all and there is no time limit. The run was named after Joseph, the longtime club president and Hilo marathon director. Wayne passed away earlier this year after a long battle with cancer.

The event is free, however, participants are encouraged to bring canned goods for the Food Basket and/or to make a monetary donation to the Wayne “Big Dog” Joseph Scholarship fund.
