The race originally started out as separate from the jazz festival. A few dozen people ran the first race. In the mid-1970's it affiliated with the festival, and slowly began to grow. Today, 15,000 to 20,000 people typically run it. It is one of the largest non-marathon foot races in the country, and draws top runners from all over the world. The 7 mile course is known for its steep hills. The first mile of the course is all uphill.
