11th Annual Run for Rowan 5K

The Rowan University Alumni Association and Rowan Campus Recreation invite you to take part in a spring tradition that brings Profs together for a great cause—the Run for Rowan 5K. Join us Saturday, April 25 on Rowan University’s Glassboro campus or participate virtually by completing your 3.1 miles anytime between April 25 and May 1, from wherever you are. Registration is open through April 10. Support our first-gen Profs! All proceeds benefit Flying First, Rowan’s initiative providing academic resources and community support to help first-generation students thrive from day one through graduation. All registered participants will receive a Run for Rowan 5K t-shirt and a commemorative full-color medal. From campus paths to neighborhood streets, every mile makes an impact.
