Join Wake Forest alumni, families, and friends all over the world by participating in Hit the Bricks 2024! On Thursday, September 26 teams of students, faculty, and staff will run around Hearn Plaza racing to see who can accumulate the most laps over the day. Teams also earn laps through raising money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund.
Alumni, families and friends of Wake Forest are encouraged to participate from wherever you live by following the process below! So lace up those shoes, Deacs (even if they are size 18.34 like the Deacon himself) and let’s Hit the Bricks for Brian!
