Event Description

Join us on Earth Day for the Student Veterans Organization Freedom 5K Run/Walk. This will take place along the beautifully scenic IUP College Lodge Trail. The trail is set on the 270 wooded acres of IUP's CO-OP park. Tickets will be $25 per person. Military and veteran tickets will be $20 per person. Please bring your military ID to registration. This fee includes a runner's t-shirt, number bib, water, healthy snacks, and a spot in the race. Last day to be eligible for a t-shirt is March 31, 2023. Medals will be provided to the top 3 runners! Registration begins at 8:30am and the race will begin at 9:00am. 50% of the proceeds aid IUP's Student Veterans Organization in carrying out their group's service based initiatives and the other 50% will be donated to the Veteran's Place. The Veteran's Place helps veterans break the cycle of homelessness by enabling them to move from being homeless to having a home and to start contributing to their communities. If you are unable to run/walk, donations are welcome. We hope to see you there!
