Wayne A Burlison Colon Cancer Awareness Run/Walk

New 10K distance! 

Wolfpack Multisport is hosting an event to honor Wayne A. Burlison.

Choose from 3 events!

• Kids Race (9am start)
• 3.17Mile (10am start)
• 10K (10am start)

A portion of the proceeds from this event will be contributed to the following:

• Wayne A. Burlison Memorial Scholarship, established in 2014 by Wayne’s wife and son. The scholarship is administered by the Albion Alumni Foundation
• Orleans Community Health Foundation, which is committed to enhancing local healthcare by securing essential funds to support Orleans Community Health and its mission. The Foundation will use the funds from the race to make colonoscopies more accessible and affordable to patients. 

The race path takes the runners into the Mt. Albion Cemetery, with rolling terrain and beautiful scenery.  The historic Mt. Albion Cemetery is a rural cemetery established in the 1840s on a glacial drumlin (landforms composed primarily of glacial till).  In 1976 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.  As you run, you will pass Wayne's site, energetic volunteers to cheer you on, and an amply supplied water station.

If you are not up for a run, we would still love to have you join us for the walk on our 5K course.  The 10K course is two loops- the turnaround just before Clarendon Road. Course map can be found here. 

Come join us and break up the cabin fever we all get during the long winter months and let's have some fun! 

All finishers will receive a medal!

Due to increased race participation and the addition of a 10K distance in 2026, we are closing the south (eastbound) lane of Route 31/East Ave between Clarendon Road and Mount Albion Cemetery. There will be alternating traffic managed by the police between 9:15 and 11:30am. 

We are doing this to keep our athletes safe as they compete in the race. 

Thank you to the community for your support of the race and our efforts to raise awareness of colon cancer.
