We welcome you to lace up your shoes and complete your own 3.1-mile run as proud UC Alumni wherever and whenever you'd like.

Join UChicago Alumni and friends all over the world for a Virtual 5k Walk/Run! To join, all you have to do is:

Step 1: Register for the 5k here.

Step 2: Choose your route - you may already have a favorite place to walk or run, but here are a few pointers and tips just in case:

• Run-on a treadmill
• Look for an established route - public parks or bike paths often have routes with pre-marked distances.
• Run around an athletic track - 12.5 laps on a 400m track are the equivalent of a 5k.
• Use a route mapping website - A few options are Map My Run, Strava, USATF - America's Running Routes, or WalkJogRun.

Step 3: Sport some UChicago apparel, or simply wear maroon while completing your 5k. Be sure to keep track of how long it takes you to complete your run or walk if you plan to post your time to raceroster.com.

Step 4: Post your results to Raceroster.com by Monday, November 30 at 11:59 p.m. CT.
