About this race

NEW THIS YEAR! The WMU Homecoming 5K course has changed locations from main campus to the engineering campus. This course will be flatter and faster than in past years. It will also allow for participants to run the 5K in the morning and enjoy the rest of the homecoming festivities in the afternoon. There is also a 10 and under 400m race free to all kids under 10 and under. There is also a discounted sign up for all active WMU students with valid WMU email and WIN#.
