Colorado State University alumni and community members gathered Saturday, October 15 on the historic CSU Oval to participate in a long-standing tradition of Homecoming and Family Weekend: the Homecoming 5K race.
The celebration featured annual traditions such as the Homecoming 5K, Friday Night Lights and, of course, the Homecoming football game. Take a look back at the fun and excitement through the lens of CSU Photography.
Registration is underway for the 2022 Homecoming 5K Race presented by the Department of Health and Exercise Science. This year’s event at 8 a.m. on Oct. 15 at the Oval supports the Adult Fitness program.
Kicking off the Saturday Homecoming and Family Weekend festivities, the Colorado State University Homecoming 5K race was a smashing hit as it made an exciting return for in-person runners after a successful virtual race the previous fall.
After a successful virtual race to adapt to the 2020 global pandemic, the Homecoming 5K Race will be back on campus for a triumphant return to the Oval on Oct. 9 for the 41st annual race.
The 40th Annual Colorado State University Homecoming 5K was unlike any other 5K that came before it. The race was held in an entirely virtual format, allowing runners from all over the globe to participate and submit their times between September 20 and October 3.
In sticking with the CSU's zero-waste mission, the Department of Health and Exercise Science aims to reuse and recycle all the left-over shirts from the Homecoming 5K in ways that benefit the community. A local fashion designer is using them to make masks for essential workers and the community.
The Homecoming 5K, one of CSU's great traditions, is taking a nontraditional approach to its 40th running.
