Come out and participate in the 2nd Annual Panther Pride 5K Run/1 Mile Walk! This is a wonderful way to show your school pride. We need runners and walkers of all abilities. Alumni, former students, current students, aspiring students and community supporters are all encouraged to participate. The purpose of the event is to raise funds for student scholarships while promoting a healthy lifestyle through physical fitness.
Our inaugural event raised enough funds to assist 2 VUU students with their financial obligations to the University. As a fundraising event, all registrations, donations and sponsorships are final.
So don't hesitate. Sign-up as an individual or join/create a team. Let's show our Panther Pride to the Greater Richmond area and beyond!
