Event Description
Description of the event
Campus Recreation will host the 18th annual Bash the Bluffs 5K run/walk on Saturday, April 27th 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. Each year, Bash The Bluffs collaborates with many external partners such as eam 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.
