I Run 4 Cal: 5K Run/Walk is a charity race at UC Berkeley to encourage donations to campus departments, scholarships, programs and student groups. Cal students, staff, and alumni will pass through Sather Gate and run (or walk!) the campus race course in a show of their support of Cal. Afterwards, the party continues with the I Run 4 Cal: 5K Run/Walk Expo providing food, booths, activities, and live entertainment for all runners and spectators.
Runners/walkers are encouraged to seek sponsorships from friends and family in support of their run. Sponsorships will be donated to the UC Berkeley campus program (department, unit, scholarship, student group, program, etc.) of the runner’s choice.
Those who raise $50 or more will receive raffle tickets to win valuable prizes from our corporate sponsors, including gift cards and athletic gear. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 males and females who finish the 5K with the fastest times. The student group or campus department that brings the most participants to the event will receive a $250 donation.
Participants register online for $20 [$5 registration fee + $15 minimum donation to Cal]. The original $15 (plus any other funds that you or your friends/family donate on your behalf) will be donated to the UC Berkeley department, major, program, scholarship, student group, etc., of your choice.
Registration is now full and we cannot take any more registrants. Information on walk-up registration on the day of the event will be announced on Thursday, April 12, 2012 at SARC's facebook page.
