Proceeds from Mason Miles support the Kyle Wilson Memorial Scholarship Fund.  Kyle Wilson, a Prince William County fire-fighter and Mason alum from the School of Recreation, Health & Tourism, died in the line of duty on April 16, 2007.  Kyle’s passion was staying fit, so walk for Kyle and donate to a worthy cause.  For more information on the Kyle Wilson Memorial Scholarship Fund, visit www.kylewilsonmemorial.com.

After the race, come out and climb the EDGE’s Alpine Tower II! The Alpine Tower II is 50′ tall triangular structure that includes various challenging elements. Some of these elements include the Corporate Ladder, Floating Poles, Hanging Cargo Net and the Beanstalk. Climb to the top and experience a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Great way to end a meaningful race!
