Organiser's description
WELCOME TO THE 2024 COUGAR 5K CHALLENGE
OUR PURPOSE:
Every year the Columbus State Staff Advisory Council hosts the Cougar 5K Challenge to raise money for student course textbooks and supplies scholarships. The cost of course material is a significant and often overlooked barrier to finishing college. While Columbus State makes every effort to provide students affordable options, sometimes there is no way around the costs of up-to-date, high-quality course textbooks and supplies. Your participation and support of this race will help us to provide coarse material scholarships so students can cross the finish line of their education.
REGISTRATION:
This year you can choose to signup for the in-person or virtual events. In either case, you can register as an individual or as part of a team. When registering, you will also have an opportunity to become a fundraiser or to make a donation.
HOW DOES A VIRTUAL 5K WORK?:
The participant can run or walk the 5K wherever and whenever he/she chooses between Saturday, May 4th and Sunday May 12th. Well send a follow-up email closer to the start date to explain how to submit your race time to qualify for some awesome prizes. Due to this being a virtual race where there will be inconsistencies in everyones chosen course, possible weather, tracking devices, etc., no placement medals will be awarded to those who choose the virtual format. Instead, everyone will receive a participation medal, a race shirt, and swag bag.
