About the UNI Homecoming 5K Run/Walk
The course starts and finishes at the Campanile, a landmark at the center of campus, and takes a couple of loops around the southeast side. It is a university campus run, so expect paved paths, open grounds, and a homecoming-weekend crowd. The race is put on by the campus running club as an annual fundraiser.
Parking is available in a nearby lot, though you will walk a short distance from there to the start. Packet pickup is offered the evening before at a campus building near the union, and again on race morning at the start line before the gun goes off.
