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. Check out our participation levels below.
Register by March 2 to receive your exclusive race t-shirt.
