In honor of our fallen U.S. military veterans, the Northwestern's Naval ROTC unit presents its very first Memorial Day 5K Run/Walk event to be held the weekend prior to Memorial Day on Saturday, May 25, 2024 at 9AM on Northwestern's campus, specifically at the Norris Center near the East Lawn.

We welcome all Northwestern students, faculty, and Evanston community members to join us for this locally held event. We look forward to welcoming all runners (competitive and non-competitive), along with families to come out and enjoy a run on the lakefill. We hope to use this event to build stronger bonds within our Northwestern University community.

IMPORTANT: Run sign-up is FREE for everyone but race shirts are available for purchase through venmo. When registering, choose N/A and bypass this portion. You can make shirt purchases up until the morning of the race at which point any remaining stock will be for sale on the day of the race.

NOTE: The race is SOLD OUT. Thank you to all of our current participants and we hope to see you guys again next year.
