About the Moving Mountains MEDLIFE 5K Run/Walk
The course follows the lake shore path out and back, turning around near the midpoint before heading back toward the Memorial Union. It is a flat route along the water, set against the backdrop of campus, and the whole thing is organized by a student group raising money for medical clinics and community development abroad.
Check-in is on North Park Street, in the small turnaround tucked between the library and the Memorial Union. Parking is in the lot right at the start of that same stretch. Arriving well before the start gives you time to get settled without rushing.
