K-State Homecoming Philanthropy 5K and Virtual 5K Run/Walk

Join fellow Wildcats and friends for the 2024 K-State Homecoming Philanthropy 5K. The K-State Alumni Association will host both an in-person and virtual 5K. 
As K-Staters continue a great tradition of giving back to our community, proceeds for this year's virtual 5K run/walk will benefit K-State Cats' Cupboard. Cats' Cupboard is a food and necessity pantry for college students on campus.

T-shirt is guaranteed if registered by Oct. 2, 12 p.m. noon.
No refunds will be given for any 5K registration or shipping fees paid.
Thank you to our 5K sponsor, WTC Fiber Internet.
