Organized by the Orszulak family in memory of their father, Frank, known during his life throughout East Springfield as an avid runner and walker, the event serves to raise funds for the Leukemia Society of America.
Additionally, this year a portion of the proceeds will be donated toThe Jimmy Fund and to Springfield's Cathedral High School, a school attended by the majority of the 13 Orszulak grandchildren. Several have carried on the Orszulak athletic tradition as standout players at Cathedral in hockey, soccer, tennis, and field hockey.

The entry fee is $12 until July 9, and $15 after that date. The entry fee is waived with a $25 pledge to the Leukemia Society. T-shirts will be given to the first 200 registered participants. Prizes: 2 Red Sox Tickets for 1st place male and 1st place female in each division (under 19, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69).
