WWU ViKing 5K

Join the Western community for a fun, active and "socially distanced" opportunity to support the WWU Alumni Scholarship Fund, and win prizes!

You will have two weeks to walk, skip, roll or run 5 kilometres (3.1 miles), in any location you choose! Get started: 

1. Register. You will receive a custom race bib to print out at home! Take a picture with your bib, and share to social media with the hashtag #WWUViking5K.  
2. Get your Viking 5K t-shirt.  Race t-shirts will be available to purchase at registration. 
3. Invite friends to join you, share this invitation. 
4. Complete your race. Submit your results by email or online, with or without a time included. All participants who complete the 5K and submit their results will be entered to win a giveaway! The giveaway prize from the Western Bookstore is a Vikings Dry Fit Tee, and a Western Screw Top Vacuum Tumbler. 
5. Help raise support for the Alumni Scholarship Fund. Invite others to support the Fund. Our first, second and third place fundraisers by dollar amount, and our first, second and third place fundraisers by number of donors will each receive a prize! 

100% of every dollar raised through your registration fee and fundraising will go to the Alumni Scholarship Fund!  For 25+ years, the WWU Alumni Association has provided more than $1.3 million in critical scholarship funds to deserving Western students. The WWU Alumni Association Scholarship supports students across campus, from incoming freshman to seniors who have financial need, and are making a difference in their communities.
