From the Organizer
Join Engineers Without Borders – University of Cincinnati for our inaugural 5K Run/Walk! This community event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, bringing together students, faculty, alumni, and local supporters for a great cause. All proceeds from the race directly support the University of Cincinnati Engineers Without Borders chapter and its mission to develop sustainable engineering solutions for communities in need. Funds raised help support international projects, travel, and educational opportunities for students working to improve access to clean water, sanitation, and infrastructure. Participants will receive a commemorative race T-shirt (while supplies last), a race bib, and post-race refreshments. Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as top finishers in select age groups. We are proud to partner with local businesses and sponsors whose generous support helps make this event possible. Whether you're racing for a personal record, walking with friends, or simply supporting a meaningful cause, your participation makes a lasting impact. Join us for a fun morning of fitness, community, and giving back while helping future engineers create sustainable solutions around the world. Every step you take helps change lives.
