About this race
NEW THIS YEAR! The WMU Homecoming 5K course has changed locations from main campus to the engineering campus. This course will be flatter and faster than in past years. It will also allow for participants to run the 5K in the morning and enjoy the rest of the homecoming festivities in the afternoon.
