5k Run Virtual Walk

The Rowan University Alumni Association and Rowan Campus Recreation invite you to take part in a spring tradition that brings Profs together for a great cause—the Run for Rowan 5K.

Join us Saturday, April 25 on Rowan University’s Glassboro campus or participate virtually by completing your 3.1 miles anytime between April 25 and May 1, from wherever you are. Registration is open through April 10.

Support our first-gen Profs! All proceeds benefit Flying First, Rowan’s initiative providing academic resources and community support to help first-generation students thrive from day one through graduation.

All registered participants will receive a Run for Rowan 5K t-shirt and a commemorative full-color medal.

From campus paths to neighborhood streets, every mile makes an impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does the race start?

The first wave of runners begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by the second wave at 10:05 a.m. New this year, all in-person runners must check in between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. to receive their assigned start time.

Why are there two waves?

The two-wave system allows us to accommodate more participants on race day. This helps reduce crowding on the course and ensures a smoother race experience for everyone.

How and when will I be assigned my wave?

Wave assignments will be given during check-in at the Welcome Tent between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Groups who want to run together are encouraged to check in at the same time to be assigned to the same wave.

Wave assignment details:

• Competitive runners will be assigned to the first wave.

• Walkers and those running with strollers will be placed in the second wave.

• Wave assignments are not based on pace.

• All awards are determined by chip time. Your assigned wave will not affect your eligibility.

What is the cost of this year's run?

Pricing now includes the cost to ship your race packet. In-person and virtual option pricing is the same:

Early Bird Registration (ends February 20)

Ages 0-17: $20

Registration (after February 20)

Ages 0-17: $25

How do I get my race packet?
