Journey 5K - A Run For Ryan

September 9, 2017 - 4:00pm

Join the campus and local community in the third annual JOURNEY 5K fund run! This family-friendly community event is a walk/run that now also features a “5 & Under Kids Course”. In addition, the Student Alumni Association will be hosting the post-run “Beginnings BBQ” open to all.

This year’s Journey 5K is also “A Run for Ryan” to honor the late Ryan Nunez, head coach of the UC Merced men’s and women’s cross country teams, and his passion for the sport he loved and the student athletes he mentored. Any gifts made will support the “Ryan Nunez Cross Country Scholarship” to support UC Merced cross country student athletes. To learn more about Ryan Nunez, please click here.
