About the Elizabeth “Betty” Walton Memorial 5k Run/Walk

This race starts at the Festival Conference and Student Center on the James Madison University campus, organized by JMU student clubs tied to the Intelligence Analysis program. It honors a former intelligence analyst whose career shaped the field, and the entry fees go toward a scholarship for underrepresented students in that program. The crowd tends to be a mix of students, faculty, alumni, and working intelligence professionals.
