UR Fitness Center's Department Dash

This is now a virtual event - held August 26 - September 10.

This 5k run / walk was created to promote team building within departments and the UR as a whole.

We had 597 participants for our first event - amazing! We hope to see you all again in 2021.

*Please note that this event is only open to UR staff, faculty & students.

Departments: Get others from your department to participate. Make this a fun thing you can do with your coworkers. There is even a prize or two to reward a department that gets a good deal of participants.

Specifics: Register anytime before 9/10 and then run or walk a 5k between 8/26 and 9/10 and record your results.

Location: Your choice! We will provide the map of the 5k the Department Dash uses - or you can pick a 5k of your own.

Dates: Wednesday 8/26 - Thursday 9/10

Cost: Only $10; Cost includes race shirt* and entry for raffle prizes. There is a $2.00 additional processing fee charged by runsignup per transaction (you can register multiple people at once to save - transactions of $10-$30 have a $2.90 fee and anything over $30.01 is $3.30). *The shirts for the race this year only will be performance shirts in men's and women's cut. Next year we will go back to cotton shirts so that departments can have a designated color of their choice. Shirts will be distributed approximately 10 days after the event.
