Our Legacy

Founded in 1982 by local legend Joe O’Brien, former East Grand Rapids High School coach and founder of Genesis Sports and Classic Race Management. What started as a local gathering has grown into a beloved community tradition attracting hundreds of participants.

Community Impact

A portion of proceeds benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities – West Michigan, supporting their mission to keep families close during challenging times. We’re proud to continue Joe’s legacy of community support and giving back.
