About the Go for Bo! 2027
The course is set at Stafford Regional Airport, routed along the airfield's open pavement, which means it is genuinely flat, wide, and fast. The race goes off in the evening, so you get the sky changing as you run. It is an unusual setting for a road race, and the lack of turns or camber makes it feel different from a typical road course.
Packet pickup is offered over the couple of days before the race at a local running store and then at the church that organizes the event, with a final window at the airport itself on race morning. The race benefits children and families in Bo, Sierra Leone, through programs run by a longtime church partner.

The Go for Bo! 2027 has been held every year since at least 2020. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
