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 24, 2024.
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 a Couch to 5k Training Team.
Registration for the Spider Dash 5K will open in early December to students, staff, and faculty and mid-January for alumni and retirees.
