About the Event

Now in its 41st year, the UT San Antonio Alumni Diploma Dash is more than a race—it’s a celebration of Roadrunner pride and community. Nearly 2,000 runners will run through the heart of the UT San Antonio Main Campus, all united by one mission: supporting student scholarships.

With your help, we’re aiming to raise over $150,000 to empower future Roadrunners. Every stride matters, and every participant makes a difference.

Cross the finish line and claim your commemorative medal—a symbol of achievement and tradition that you’ll treasure for years to come.
