This event is more than just a race; its a tribute to Chip Seaver, whose life was a testament to service and dedication. After serving his country as a Marine serving two tours as a front-line Scout Sniper in Operation Desert Storm, Chip continued his legacy of service as a firefighter with the Greensboro Fire Department. Chip was brave, creative, and an avid runner. His fellow firefighters affectionately nicknamed him "Rooster." The Rooster Run is our way of honoring Chips adventurous spirit, commitment to community, and the passion he had for his work and life.
The Chip Seaver Memorial Fund at Guildford Technical Community College (GTCC) was established by Chips sister Scottie, and other donors, to honor Chips respected career and life of service. Proceeds from the race go to the Chip Seaver Memorial Fund at GTCC to support the fire academy and training program. GTCCs fire training programs help to ensure current and future firefighters receive the knowledge and skills they need to serve their communities and preserve the safety of all, at the highest level.
