This invitational is held in loving memory of Coach Ben Mourer, whose legacy as a mentor, coach, and man of deep character continues to inspire all who knew him. Ben devoted over nine years as the head track and field coach at Allegheny College, where his influence extended far beyond the track. His love for running was matched only by his passion for building community and character in the young people he coached.
Ben’s memory lives on in every child who laces up their shoes, in every mile run with purpose, and in every team that becomes a family.
👉 Register today and run with heart in honor of a man who gave his all.

Let’s run together, for fun, for our children, and for the legacy of a life well-lived.
