The Spartan Obstacle Run 5K is hosted by the University's Tampa Bay Alumni Chapter and Cross Country Team. If you enjoy running or just want to challenge yourself physically this race is for you! It will include a 5K as well as running through tires, jumping over hale bales and crawling through cargo nets all against the backdrop of our beautiful and historic campus. Proceeds support UT Cross Country Scholarships. This year we will officially have a kids Obstacle 1 Kilometer Race.
