Organiser's Description
THE ROCK is at the center of Albion Colleges campus located on the Quad. The RUN THE ROCK event passes right by and even though youll be going by so fast to see how many layers of paint make the rock what it is today, youll be able to feel the history that each layer brings to what makes Albion College special.
