Lace up and join Jackrabbits everywhere for the Jacks Virtual 5K, happening any day you choose in April!
A virtual 5K means you decide when, where, and how you participate. Run, jog, or walk — on a trail, sidewalk, treadmill, or track. It's up to you! This year, proceeds from the event will benefit Jack’s Cupboard, helping SDSU students facing food insecurity.
One of the benefits of a virtual race is that you can customize your level of participation to accommodate your fitness level. No matter the distance or pace — 5K or 1.5 miles, run or walk — you can join in any way that works best for you.
Registration
*The deadline to order a 2026 exclusive race shirt has passed, but registration remains open — and participation is free!

Share Your Run
We love seeing how Jackrabbits participate from near and far! We encourage you to share your race photos on social media using #JacksVirtual5K and tag us @sdsualumnifoundation so we can cheer you on and share your posts.
This year, we’ll be collecting some optional fun details — such as states represented, fastest times, and participant age ranges — to help us celebrate our runners. A submission form will be available here closer to April.
