ARE YOU READDDYYYYY?! 🔥
The CMU Homecoming 5K is THIS SATURDAY and we’ve got a few important updates for you! 🏃♀️🎉
1. Early Packet Pick-Up:
Friday, October 24th, from 11 AM – 4 PM at the Special Olympics Michigan Building on CMU’s campus.
2. Race Day Registration:

3. Timing Update:
We’re trying a new timing system this year!

🏅 If you’re a contender for an award, please line up toward the front.
🚶 Walkers, please start toward the back.
A timing clock will be displayed at the start line.

4. Bib Reminder:
Your bib number must be visible if you would like to be timed.

We are SO excited for this Saturday and can’t thank you enough for kicking off your Homecoming weekend by supporting Special Olympics Michigan athletes! We’re just shy of our $10,000 goal — let’s crush it and then some! There’s still time to register, so grab your friends and family and join us at the start line!
See you Saturday! 🎉
