Pull out those running shoes and get ready to compete in the 11th Annual Campus on the Run March 29. Community members, students, faculty, spouses, and partners are encouraged to participate and can choose to run or walk the 3.1 mile road race.

The race is co- sponsored by University Recreation and the Center for Civic Engagement and proceeds from this year’s race will benefit The Palouse Conservation District to help with their work on providing programs to assist landowners and agricultural operators with the conservation of natural resources.

Last year’s race was a success with nearly 400 participants and about $1,000 donated to the Palouse Discovery Science Center said Dave Pearson, Assistant Director of Competitive Sports and Special Events. “This year we are really trying to push the fun aspect of the run and hopefully we will have between 400 and 500 people to participate along with great weather.”

The day of the race participants will check-in from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Student Recreation Center, during which they will be able to pick up t-shirts and other giveaways. The race will start and finish in front of the Student Recreation Center.

Participants are encouraged to register early to guarantee a long-sleeve, Campus on the Run t-shirt. Early registration ends March 17 and costs $14 for SRC members and $17 for non-members. Late registration will conclude on March 24 with a cost of $19 for SRC members and $22 for non-members.
