As part of its annual CASNR Week festivities, the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources will host a free 5K fun run/walk at 8 a.m. April 11 on East Campus.
The event is open to UNL faculty, staff, students and the community, including children with parents/guardians. Awards given for best costume, top male and female finisher, and top master male and female (ages 40 and up) finishers.
Preregistration is required at http://go.unl.edu/funrun. A maximum of 300 entries are being accepted on a first come, first serve basis until April 10 or before, if it sells out. No sign-ups will be taken on race day. For the past two years, the fun run’s entries have filled several weeks before race day.
All participants need to pick up their race number bib and turn in their participation waiver the week prior to the fun run, at one of these locations:
4 to 6 p.m. April 8 @ City Campus Rec Center
2 to 7 p.m. April 9 @ City Campus Rec Center
1 to 5 p.m. April 10 @ East Union
5:30 to 7 p.m. April 10 @ City Campus Rec Center
Bib pick-up is not available the morning of the fun run.
The run/walk begins promptly at 8 a.m. and starts and finishes at the East Campus Mall. View the course route at http://go.unl.edu/funrun_map.
The course is relatively flat with an elevation difference of 31.5 feet and total ascent of 62 feet. It is an excellent route for all runners/walkers - beginners, experienced, and anyone training for spring road races.
Awards are given to top finishers, but official times will not be recorded or posted.
This event is a cooperative project of CASNR and UNL Campus Recreation. For more information, send email to casnrfunrun@gmail.com or call 402-472-8749.
