About the “25 JAM” 5K Run/Walk or 1 Mile Walk
The route through Cascade Park pays tribute to Jesse Allen Moss Jr., with photographs of the park's history placed along the way. The course offers both a longer run-walk option and a shorter walking distance, so the morning draws people moving at very different paces. The park setting gives it a shaded, neighborhood feel rather than a road-race atmosphere.
Post-race, there is a DJ and food at the finish. The red socks contest adds something worth knowing about before you pack your bag: the most creative pair wins a prize. Proceeds support student athletes through a mentorship nonprofit founded in Jesse's name.
