The Race

  • Only those running the 5K will receive timing chips with their bibs.
  • The course will circle campus twice and finish back at the fountain.
  • The 5K course is a bit long, think of it as a bonus light show.
  • All participants will receive a race bib, so we know who is participating.
  • All participants will receive a commemorative race medal.
  • You will find an aid station (with water only) on the course. 
  • The finish line will have water, bananas, hot-cocoa, and cookies.

T-shirts:

  • For those who registered before 11/18, your shirts will be available at packet pickup.
  • Anyone with a “Post-race Pickup Size” can pick up at the Development Office located on Roller Hall when they are printed.  (Give us a week or two; we’ll let you know when they are available via email.)
