Run this campus!

Registration is now open for the annual Roadrunners 5K.

It’s time to lace up your running shoes, stretch your hamstrings and join your fellow Roadrunners during Homecoming 2021 for the annual Roadrunners 5K on Oct. 2.

Runners, joggers and walkers of all ages and abilities are invited to tackle the Auraria Campus race course, and a free fun run for kids ages 12 and under will follow the conclusion of the main race. This year, Roadrunners can also select a virtual race option that allows them to complete a 5K route of their choice elsewhere on the same day. All registered participants will receive a Roadrunners 5K T-shirt and one entry into a prize drawing.

There are also opportunities to run with us as a race sponsor. Sponsorships include: business logo on the race T-shirt, logo on the race website, social-media mentions and a table at the event.

Register for the Roadrunners 5K today for the perfect way to end Homecoming 2021 this fall. Proceeds directly benefit the Metropolitan State University of Denver Men’s and Women’s Cross Country programs.
