Come out and enjoy the 10th Annual Prairie Stars 5K—a flat, easy run/walk through the beautiful UIS campus!
Held in conjunction with Homecoming Week, this fun and active event is a great way to show your school spirit. Grab a friend (and/or your dog!) and join us for a morning of movement and celebration. Participants will receive a dri-fit t-shirt, have the chance to win door prizes, and more!
We offer men’s, women’s, and non-binary divisions, with awards given to the top 3 finishers in each age category and the overall winners.
If you would prefer not to be recognized publicly for placing in your division, please get in touch with Jordan Killen at jkill7@uis.edu.
