About the event
Held on the morning of Homecoming, the Fun Run will occur rain or shine. The event is open to faculty, staff, alumni, students, families with strollers and community members of all ages. This is a fully accessible event.
Participants are encouraged to have fun - join a team, wear costumes, etc. for a chance to win prizes. Music, games and the official warm-up will also add to the fun!
The event will include chip timing and results will be posted online. For the 5KM run it can be used as part of an official race in the running community.
Supporting the Faculty of Health
This year’s event will help support the University’s ambitious Healthy Waterloo initiative. By harnessing our campus community as a “living lab,” we will focus on creating, testing and implementing preventative health solutions that inspire enhanced quality of life for all individuals, communities, and populations.
