First-Gen 5k

First Gen 5K
Run for Opportunity. Grow Together.
Join us on August 8th at 8:00 AM at Baseline Road Trailhead for the 2nd Annual First Gen 5K, a community-driven race created to celebrate and support first-generation students.

More than just a race, the First Gen 5K brings together runners, students, families, local businesses, and community members through health, opportunity, and connection.

Whether you’re chasing a PR, running with friends, or simply coming out to be part of the community, this race is for everyone. With chip timing, finisher medals, music, race-day photos, awards, refreshments, and a great race-day atmosphere, we’re excited to bring everyone together for another year.

Overall Awards
The overall male winner and overall female winner will each receive a $50 Fit2Run gift card.

The 2nd and 3rd place overall male and female finishers will also receive prizes.

Masters Awards (40+)
Awards will be presented to the male and female Masters winners, as well as the male and female Masters runner-ups.
