PC's annual festival of fitness and camaraderie returns on Saturday, October 3, 2026 as a signature event during Homecoming, a weekend packed with exciting events for the entire Friar community.
Students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and the public are invited to run or walk the 3.1-mile USA Track and Field-sanctioned course around the Providence College campus. Sign up as an individual or as a team to be part of the fun.
All race registrants who pick up their bib on Friday will receive a free voucher to eat at Ray on Friday evening. Start carb loading!
Pre-registration is highly recommended and a free cotton race t-shirt is included in the entrance fee. T-shirt sizes are on a first come, first serve basis.
Walk-ins are available on Saturday morning - we recommend arriving early if you are registering day of. T-shirts are limited for onsite registrants. The race will take place rain or shine!
Children under 12 can accompany a parent or guardian for the 5K, but we recommend they participate in the Fun Run at 2:00 p.m. on Ray Traecy Track.
