The Wake Tech Road Scholars 5K Run In 2013 over 290 runners and walkers signed up for this event which was part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the school’s beginning. Jim Stephens led the pack across the finish line in 18:30. Rachel Vidrine was the women’s champion after a 25:29 clocking. Since that was the first year the race was held, both performances are the course records.
