Racer 5k

• Racer 5k:- Run 3.1 Miles

Come join us as the Murray State Cross Country / Track and Field Team hosts their 7th annual Racer 5K on Family Weekend right here on campus!! The Racer 5K began in 2013, with the mission to have a fun morning run throughout our beautiful campus! It has grown yearly with tremendous community support. The funds raised go to supporting Murray State Cross Country, Track and Field programs.

The race begins between the Murray State Wellness center and campus apartments. The course goes through campus with lead and trail golf carts as well as neon arrows taped to the ground throughout the entire 3.1 miles! All surfaces are sidewalk / pavement with some inclines. The race finishes on the track inside the football stadium!
