Event Description

Great News!  The SANPHC HBCU Virtual Race Challenge has been extended until October 31, 2020.

We’re excited to announce that the San Antonio National Pan-Hellenic Council (SANPHC) will host its inaugural HBCU Virtual Race Challenge from September 20, 2020 to October 17, 2020 (Extended by popular demand until October 31, 2020) in honor of National HBCU Week! Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we are unable to celebrate in-person as we initially planned. Staying active during this time of social distancing is important for our mental and physical well-being! SANPHC wants to encourage everyone to “Just Get Moving!”  The HBCU Virtual Race Challenge can be completed from ANY location you choose.

The individual registration entry fee is $35.00 for all participants. Participants can pledge to walk, run, swim, or cycle from "0 to 25" miles with registration. Participants will have the opportunity to pledge additional miles by making a donation. Each additional mile is $1. 

All walkers, runners, swimmers, cyclists, and communities will collectively complete the #HBCUTrail. The #HBCUTrail is the distance it takes to travel to each HBCU, starting at St. Philip's College, San Antonio, TX and ending at Howard University, Washington DC. This distance is 14,068 miles! Registration will open Sunday, August 23, 2020. Collectively, we will reach the goal of completing 14,068 miles. 

Another goal is to raise money to support our scholarship fund, which awards outstanding high school seniors from the San Antonio community as they enter their first year of college. In addition, a portion of the event proceeds will benefit the HBCU Scholarship Foundation of the top fundraising HBCU team.
