COURSE

5K: The course begins and ends in front of the Student Union, located next to Campus Center and Campus Center parking lot. From the Student Union, participants run/walk along scenic Ring Road and around the Woodlands Dorms. Participants turn around at a point just before the Clark Center, and take Ring Road back until they reach the Woodlands Dorms traffic circle. At that point, participants run the traffic circle and connect to the walking path, which takes them around the NAAB, past the athletic fields, around Clark Center, past the Science Center, and then back to Student Union. Volunteers and cones will be along the course to help navigate runners!

The 100-meter dash will take place in the Campus Center traffic circle.
