About this race
This event is only for people affiliated with UALR!
Lace up your running shoes and show off your Trojan pride at the Run Down the Hogs Pep Rally 5K on Friday, November 13th at 4:00 PM! Whether you are a competitive runner, a casual walker, or an enthusiastic fan cheering from the sidelines, this officially chip-timed 5K is the ultimate kickoff to an epic weekend of UA Little Rock basketball.
Deck yourself out in camo and maroon as we bring the game-day energy to the pavement. Every participant will enjoy live music from the Trojan Pep Band, energetic performances by the Trojan Dance Team, delicious snacks, and an exclusive finisher award. Beyond the finish line, we are running with a purpose—help us support our fellow Trojans by bringing shelf-stable food items to donate directly to the Trojan Food Pantry on campus.
We are hitting the course to amp up the hype for two massive home matchups at the Jack Stephens Center:
UA Little Rock Men’s Basketball vs. Northwestern State Demons — Saturday, Nov 14 at 7:00 PM
UA Little Rock Women’s Basketball vs. Arkansas Razorbacks — Monday, Nov 16 at 7:00 PM
Bring your food drive donations, throw on your best camo and maroon, and come ready to Run Down the Hogs!
