Event Description

Celebrate American Heart Month by lacing up your running shoes, stretching and joining your fellow Pioneers for our East Bay Pioneers 5K! We invite alumni, students, parents and Pioneer fans everywhere to participate by running or walking a 5K in their communities to celebrate their heart for Valentine’s Day.

The East Bay Pioneers 5K is a fun and easy way to recharge your school spirit, support the Alumni Association and Department of Kinesiology programming and burn some calories for a healthy heart! Whether you sprint, jog, walk or stroll, you can participate wherever you are and whenever you’re up for it. It’s all about having fun, not setting records—unless you’re going for your personal best!

Registration is now open and participants can complete the 5K anytime between February 1 through the 28th. Every participant will receive a 5K t-shirt, a race bib and a medal. To ensure that you receive your 5k swag in a timely manner, please register by January 15. Registrations after January 15 will receive swag based on availability. 

The deadline for entering your finish time is February 28, 2021. After you complete the 5K, be sure to post photos of your race day experience on social media using #EBPioneers5k.

Note: Please consult with your physician or medical expert if you have a medical condition before engaging in strenuous activity. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, please follow state and local public health guidelines to protect yourself and others.
