Organiser's description
Lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the University City 5K. The race will be held during Alumni Weekend 2024, and runners of all skill levels are welcome to participate by walking, jogging or running the route. The run, dedicated to honoring the memory of Nick Pipino, will consist of two loops around Powelton Village.
In 1992, Nick's life was tragically cut short outside Cavanaugh's Restaurant & Bar, where he worked while pursuing his undergraduate degree at Drexel University. In keeping with Nick's love for the outdoors, the run has been organized since 1993 as a way to make something positive come out of Nick's untimely death.
For over 30 years, proceeds from the University City 5K have directly supported the Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Scholarship at Drexel University. The scholarship provides financial assistance and quality education to enthusiastic Drexel students who are eager to meet the realistic demands of the professional world.
