ALL STUDENTS AT UCSD
| SUBJECT: | Chancellor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk for Scholars |
Chancellor Marye Anne Fox will lead the annual Chancellor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk for Scholars on Friday, October 21, on a course through campus to raise scholarship support for UCSD students. Since the inaugural run in 1996, the Chancellor's Challenge has raised more than $1.25 million for more than 550 undergraduate scholarships. We invite all staff, faculty, students, alumni and friends to join us for this exciting event.
More about the Chancellor's Challenge
The Chancellor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk starts and ends on the North Campus Field, adjacent to RIMAC. Check-in begins at 10:30 a.m. with the Run/Walk getting under way at 12:15 p.m. Lunch will be provided after the race.
As this year marks the 10 Year Anniversary of the Chancellor's Challenge, Chancellor Fox will donate $5,000 if the total number of registrants exceeds 1,500.
Associated Students Challenge
If Associated Students registrations exceed 600 students, Chancellor Fox will donate funds towards the Associated Students BBQ. If the students do not meet that goal, Associated Students President, Christopher Sweeten will roll up his sleeves and will wash the Chancellor's car.
You're Not a Runner? No Problem
The Chancellor's Challenge is a "walk" as much as it is a "run." You do not need to be a runner to join in the fun. You don't even need to cross the finish line. The goal is to participate, have fun, and help support UCSD's outstanding students. Individuals with disabilities should contact Dave Koch at 858-822-5260 to discuss requests for special accommodations.
