Bobby Hampton was a native of Boone County and an employee of the coal industry for more than 35 years. Bobby lost a brave battle to leukemia in August 2003. The race began in 2004 in memory of Bobby with all proceeds going to leukemia research. The inaugural race was a huge success with approximately 200 participants and raising $5000 for the cause. Since it's inception, over 30,000 has been raised for causes such as the Amelia Setser Fund and the Bone Marrow Donor Program.

The race continues to grow each year and 2010 promises to be no exception. This year, the race will benefit KaBoom, a non-profit organization that builds playgrounds in areas of need. Following this year's race, a playground will be constructed to benefit the Madison community.
