Race Info

Help kick off JU Homecoming & Family Weekend! This will be a fun and high-energy 5k run/walk through the beautiful JU campus. Runners will soak in views of the St. Johns, pass under the historic oak trees in the heart of campus and even complete a fast lap on the JU track, with JU athletes cheering you on! The downhill finish will lead you to the "River House Post-Race Party" which includes refreshments, beer, music, and awards. We have cash prizes for the top finishers, medals for all finishers, and prizes for age-group winners.

Funds from this race will support these programs and great causes at JU:

JU Kinesiology Running Research: equipment to study running biomechanics, travel funds for students to present at scientific conferences
Graduate Student Research Scholarships
Scholarships for the Student Veterans of America
