Join us for the 18th annual Run for the Woods on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, in the beautiful Piscataway, Middlesex! This exciting 5k event takes participants on a scenic single loop through the shaded dirt trails of the Rutgers Ecological Preserve. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and stay active, but your participation also supports vital forest restoration efforts in the EcoPreserve and benefits the Ecology and Evolution Graduate Student Association.

Runners will have the chance to win fantastic prizes, including running shoes and native plants! Don't forget to pick up your race packet at RoadRunner Sports in North Brunswick, but be aware that parking at the race start is limited. If you have a Rutgers parking pass, you can park in any designated lot on Livingston. For those without a pass, you can register for a temporary pass to park in Lots 105 or Yellow. Be sure to register by Friday, April 19th, to secure your t-shirt in your preferred size. Lace up your shoes and get ready for a fun-filled day of running for a great cause!
