Grant Wheeler graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1985. Grant was passionate about music, cars, the Green Bay Packers, running, and his family. Married, and the father of two young boys, Grant was killed in a tragic car accident in 2002 preparing to leave to run the Twin Cities Marathon.

In 2003, an Endowment Fund was established to award scholarships annually to area senior distance runners who share Grant's passion for running and his faith, displaying it through strength of character and acts of love and encouragement.

The race committee has awarded 57 scholarships since 2004 totaling $52,500. This year's race entry fees will go directly to scholarships to be awarded in 2015.
