Brief Description

Dear runners and walkers, due to a lack of entries, the Negro League Baseball Museum has decided to cancel the Run. If you have already signed up and are inquiring about a refund, please contact Bob Kendrick at bkendrick@nlbm.com. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Why 2.2 Miles?

Buck O'Neil's uniform number was 22, so we chose 2.2 Miles to honor the Legendary Star.
