True Blue 5K

Homecoming weekend promises to pack in a lot of events in the Eagle Nation, including the second annual True Blue 5K. On November 10, Eagle fans of all ages including students, children and adults will be off and running early on campus before the Eagles vs. Howard University game at 2 p.m.

Georgia Southern University President Brooks Keel will start the 3.1 mile race, which begins and ends at the Recreation Activity Center (RAC). As the route winds around historic sites on campus including Sweetheart Circle, the Georgia Southern cheerleaders and mascot Gus will cheer on runners and walkers. The Southern Pride Marching Band drum line will welcome participants to the finish line.

Participants are encouraged to show their True Blue spirit by sporting Georgia Southern colors, costumes and gear. The race begins at 7:30 a.m. at the RAC. Registration is $15 for students and $20 for community members and alumni. To register, call (912) 478-5436 or click here for more information.
