SpiderDash 5k

Supporting the university’s mission for health and well-being and its focus on community, Dining Services, Human Resources, and URWell are sponsoring a 5k on campus on Saturday, February 22, 2025. 

The Spider Dash 5k is designed to showcase the best of UR's beautiful campus while promoting well-being and community. Participants will begin on the University Forum, wind their way through campus, and finish at the Heilman Dining Center with a meal and an awards ceremony.

Participants are encouraged to run or walk the course, which features Westhampton Lake and the EcoCorridor. 

In preparation for the race, University Recreation will offer training schedules and guidance.

Registration for the Spider Dash 5K will open December 2, 2024 to students, staff, and faculty and early January 2025 for alumni and retirees.
