From the Organizer
Now in its 42nd year, the UT San Antonio Alumni Diploma Dash is more than a race—it’s a celebration of Roadrunner pride and community. Nearly 2,000 runners will run through the heart of the UT San Antonio Main Campus, all united by one mission: supporting student scholarships.
With your help, we’re aiming to raise over $150,000 to empower future Roadrunners. Every stride matters, and every participant makes a difference.
Cross the finish line and claim your commemorative medal—a symbol of achievement and tradition that you’ll treasure for years to come.
Ready to make history? Register today and be part of a legacy that changes lives.
