ON THE HORIZON...
Run For Walk
Sunday, July 28 • 7:30 a.m.
Registration Now Open! • Run for Walk Web Site
Notable: Last year, the inaugural Run for Walk welcomed nearly 1,000 Northwestern fans, supporters and friends of the late Head Coach Randy Walker, to honor our former head football coach. Once again this year, the 5k family walk will continue as part of the Run for Walk, a 4.1 mile run through Evanston’s tree-lined streets and along the lakefront on Northwestern’s campus. Participants will finish on Ryan Field while watching their achievement on the video board. The unique run distance harkens back to Randy’s uniform number 41 during his collegiate playing days at Miami University.
Registration fee for the run or walk is $37.50 (before July 15 at 9 a.m. Will raise to $40 after that point.) and includes a short-sleeved, purple technical shirt, a ticket to a non-conference home football game and entry into the race day fitness fest. Northwestern students may register for $22.50. The beneficiary of all proceeds is C.A.R.E. for the Evanston Animal Shelter, a local organization important to Randy.
