The 2025 Bowerman 5k Registration is Live!
We are excited to announce the 14th edition of the annual Bowerman 5k!

LOCATION:
Held at the Nike World Headquarters, participants will run a closed-off interior road within the campus. The smooth tarmac loops around the beautiful Nike WHQ campus, starting and finishing at the Lebron James Courtyard. Packet pickup, vendors, and giveaways will take place in the Mia Hamm Courtyard close to the start line.

TEAMS:
If youre not in the hunt for individual glory, there will be a team race (5 runners to score) with male and female divisions. You must have 5 runners to complete a team. If you do not find a complete team by race day, you will be entered as an individual. In addition to team scoring, the team with the largest number of competitors will be recognized with an award.

FUNDRAISING:
Help us continue to support causes near and dear to our BTC Community. In 2025, we are adding fundraising opportunities to support the Youth Track Foundation, as well as the BTC Youth Cross Country and Track programs. All donations will go directly toward supporting operational costs and scholarship opportunities for our youth program. You can have an impact even if you arent racing! Encourage family and friends to donate under your registration link.

Every year, the event also raises money for the Achon Uganda Childrens Fund (AUCF), an organization focused on providing improved healthcare, education and exposure to sport in Uganda communities. The event has supported the AUCF every year since its inaugural run in 2010, and we hope to continue to expand our donation in years to come.
