Uwsp Homecoming 5k Run/Walk
About this race
The UWSP Homecoming 5k is BACK for another year! This event is being hosted by the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point Doctor of Physical Therapy Students (Registered UWSP Student Organization), partnered with the UWSP Homecoming Committee. Join us on a scenic race, routing through Schmeeckle Reserve in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Run the 5K competitively or walk at your own pace and enjoy the outdoors. Proceeds from this event will help our students seek professional development and service opportunities in the local community and nationwide. Students in the DPT program have attended nationwide academic conferences, received thousands in scholarships, received specialized training, and more thanks to your support of this event. This 5K also brings Pointer Pride during the 2026 Homecoming Week to welcome UWSP students and alumni, family, faculty, and community members to show support for our beloved city! After completion of the race, visit our local sponsor tables at the race start/finish line (also active before race), partake in Homecoming festivities (https://www.uwsp.edu/student-homecoming-events/), and cheer on the UWSP Football Team at Goerke Field, with kickoff at 1:00pm as they take on the UW-Stout Blue Devils for the Homecoming Game. Donations accepted online and at event. In the event of race cancellation there is a no refund policy.
*The race will start and finish at the Parkway Shelter in Schmeeckle Reserve, the same location as last year. See Main Menu for location and other event details. Please note that Schmeeckle Reserve does NOT allow dogs on the grounds, so please leave all furry friends at home.
