What is Doggie Registration and what is included?

For the first time in 2021, dogs are invited to participate! In a normal year, dogs are not permitted at the Sac State 5k Fun Run, but for this year's virtual event, we have created a special dog registration add-on (while supplies last!) to your registration, which includes a reflective race bandana for your dog!

Packet Pickup Options

We will be offering two packet pickup options, which you will be required to select your choice while registering. We will be holding in person contactless packet pickup at The WELL from May 4th to May 6th. We will allow participants to pick up for family and friends. If you select this option, you will receive an email with further details and instructions at a closer date.

The second  option is to have your race packet mailed to you for a nominal fee of $3 per person. Mailing of packets will begin on May 4th.

How does this work?

  2. Submit your finishing time via the link in your confirmation email by noon on April 30th.
  3. Post your run selfies and use hashtag #SacState5k for all your bragging rights!

Program Fund Donation Recipient  

The Sac State 5K Fun Run is celebrating 13 years running in 2021 by donating the 5K net proceeds after direct costs to the Sac State Greatest Needs Fund, which is managed by University Development. This campus fund provides flexibility in supporting the most pressing needs of Sacramento State students, through scholarships, the ASI Food Pantry, Student Emergency Grant Fund, Student Emergency Housing, and more.

Race Policies 

Participants must complete their 3.1 miles on their own time anywhere they choose. They can hike, walk, jog, roll or run their miles. We encourage all participants to practice physical distancing, adhere to all state guidelines and follow the rules of the road while getting their miles in.
 
Participants are responsible for submitting their finishing time by noon on Friday, April 30th.
