Spider Spirit Virtual 5k

Monday, June 1 - Sunday, June 7

The Spider Spirit Virtual 5k is a 3.1-mile fun run/walk that can take place in your own neighborhood, individually or with your social distancing partners. We encourage all members of our UR Community to participate.

Wear your UR gear to show your #SpiderPride as we support each other, get outside, and incorporate movement into our day!
