About
The University of Denver's Eighth Annual Crimson Classic is running a bit different this year - virtually! Please join us Friday October 23, 2020 to run 5 kilometres or walk 1.5 miles. Let's kick off Homecoming weekend and cheer for each other from safe distances!
How Does It Work?
Run a 5k (3.1 miles) or walk 1.5 miles at a location of your choice. Track your distance. Record your completed time. Report your results to your Runsign up Profile. Reporting your time is not required, but a great way to connect and share with other DU community participants. #DUHomecoming20
Routes & Time
Choose your own adventure. Run around your neighborhood, a trail nearby, in the mountains, around a lake, on a treadmill, or at the park. The location is up to you. It might be helpful to map out the distance ahead of time or use a phone app to track your time. Once you have a route planned, pick a time that works with your schedule on Friday. Stay safe and have fun!
