The 2nd annual Run to Remember 5k is scheduled for Saturday, May 7. The 5k run/walk will start at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse at 8:30 a.m. for all divisions including men 25 and younger, women 25 and younger, men 26 and older and women 26 and older. A short kids race also will be held on the sidewalks around the fieldhouse.
Run to Remember is an annual event sponsored by NDSU Air Force and Army ROTC that both promotes awareness for sacrifices military service members make and fundraises for a specific cause. This year's proceeds from the event will support planning and construction of the Fallen Bison Memorial. The memorial honors NDSU students, staff and faculty who have lost their lives while serving their country in the armed forces. It will be located directly south of Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse and will consist of clay and granite brick walkways, clay brick walls, a granite brick floor and a flagstaff.
Online registration will close at midnight Friday, May 6. On-site registration will not be offered. Registration packet pick-up will be from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. the morning of the race. Depending on weather, the registration pick-up site will be either inside the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse foyer or outside directly south of the fieldhouse. Parking will be available in CF lot, directly west of the fieldhouse.
The first 200 registered for the 5k will receive a free Run to Remember T-shirt. The opening ceremony will begin at 8:05 a.m. and closing ceremony at 9:15 a.m. Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each division. Participants will enjoy a free breakfast at the finish line.
