Event Description

The ORU Alumni Association is excited to announce the first annual First Mile 5k on April 1st, 2023. Proceeds from this event will benefit the alumni association, the Whole Leaders for the Whole World campaign, and the Quest First Scholarship, which is given to students who are the very first in their family to attend college. Participants in this year's 5k event will also be running in honor Eugene Quaynor, and ORU soccer team captain who was killed when a drunk driver hit his car in September, 2022. As you run the race, you will see the names of over 60,000 students who have attended ORU over the last 50+ years. This is going to be a great event and we hope you will choose to run with us.
