Why It Matters
Peaks and Professors is a Registered Student Organization (RSO) and up-and-coming nonprofit at UW, on a mission to bridge the gap between academia and the outdoors. We lead students and faculty on accessible hikes, camping trips, and outdoor adventures across Western Washington — and this 5K is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Every dollar raised goes directly toward our outdoor education workshops and wilderness accessibility programs, breaking down financial barriers for students seeking time outside.
Come run, cheer, and celebrate with us — we can't wait to see you at the starting line!
