A one-mile fun run has been added this year.  The registration fee structure is the same as the full 5K, and children ages 10 and under are free of charge.  Register online or use the attached form. 

JOIN IN THE FUN!

The morning will begin with a Zumba warm up, rock climbing wall, photo booth, pumpkin painting, face painting by VAPA students and pre-race music provided by The PULSE.  Help us celebrate by showing your support for this Homecoming tradition that results in scholarships and funds for educational innovation at MCC.

Check-in begins at 9:30 am in Parking Lot G. The 3.1 mile walk/run will start at 11 am and the fun run at 11:10 am.  Prizes for men’s and women's top finishers and the team that raises the most will be awarded!

Student participants will be eligible to have their names included in a scholarship drawing—six student names will be selected to receive MCC scholarship awards totaling $5,000! To be eligible for the drawing, students must be currently enrolled at MCC and must participate in the race.  Special student pricing is $10.

Tickets for the Tailgate Party and hot buffet lunch following the 5K are not included in the price of the race and may be purchased separately for $8.  The Tailgate Party, sponsored by the MCC Association and Sodexo, begins at 11:30 a.m. in the gymnasium.
