Lace up for the 6th annual UMSL 5K Run/Walk! Hosted by the UMSL Alumni Association, this campus tradition brings together Tritons past and present for a fun race through the heart of the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
Run for the Roses! Thanks to our Finish Line Sponsor, Walter Knoll Florist, every runner crosses the finish line to a beautiful rose. The top male and female finishers in each category will take home a stunning dozen-rose bouquet!
All proceeds from the 5k Run/Walk will benefit the UMSL Athletics Department.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just enjoying the stroll, it’s the perfect way to reconnect, recharge and show your UMSL pride. See old friends, meet new ones and enjoy the beautiful surroundings!
All participants receive a commemorative race t-shirt, a medal and other Triton treats and surprises. Treat yourself after the race- Corner 17 is offering 15% off on October 17 when you show your race-bib at either location.
