Event Description

NEW in 2023! The Husky Run & Ruck offers a 10K run, 5K run/walk and untimed 1 mile that all start and end in the heart of UConn Storrs campus. Taking place on Veterans Day weekend, the event will honor those who have served and benefit UConn Veterans Affairs and Military Programs. Join UConn Rec in a salute to service!

The rolling courses explore campus and the rural Mansfield-Storrs area, with 10K runners tackling infamous Bone Mill Road. The challenging Bone Mill loop will be run in honor of Kyle Milliken, Navy SEAL and UConn track and field athlete who was killed in action.

Runners and walkers are both welcome in the 5K, which offers a taste of everything in the local area. The fitness walk is an untimed mile through the heart of campus. All courses will pass by the Ultimate Sacrifice Memorial on the Great Lawn.

Event participants will earn long sleeve technical shirts and enjoy post-race festivities taking place outside the UConn Student Recreation Center.
