Event Description
Description of the event
Campus Recreation will host the 17th annual Bash the Bluffs 5K run/walk on Saturday, April 28th at 9:30am. The event is in memory of Dr. Ed Burke (1949-2002), renowned researcher, former professor of exercise science at UCCS, valued member of the University community and a friend of many in the Campus Recreation Department. For the 2017 race year we are collaborating with new and exciting partners as Team Red, White and Blue (TRWB) and the Army ROTC, whose mission closely aligns with our Bash The Bluffs 5k. In Remembrance of Dr. Burke and the many veterans of our community, we run together for a common cause.
