John Rogucki Memorial Fund Since John's death in 1997, The "John, 'Road Kill', Rogucki Trail Marathon Memorial Stump" has been present at the race as a remembrance of John and his love for this trail. Each year RF Events donates a portion from each marathon entry fee to the John Rogucki memorial fund and honors the first place over 50 male and female finishers in the marathon by adding their name to it.
