Join us for the 14th annual Big House 5K! This event is an exciting run/walk that courses through the University of Michigan campus before participants finish the race on the 50-yard line of Michigan Stadium.
We proudly host this event to raise awareness for six local, non-profit organizations. All race proceeds are split among the six beneficiaries. We partner with colleagues on campus and look to our Athletic Department service pillars to select beneficiaries whose work addresses immediate needs in our community.
The 2027 Big House 5K will take place on April 18, 2026 at 8am.
We are excited to partner with six local beneficiaries this year to provide a platform on which they can raise awareness and funds in support of their cause.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions at bighouse5k@umich.edu. Go Blue!
