About the event

WHAT A GREAT DAY IN 2026!  THANK YOU TO THE ALMOST 450 RUNNERS WHO SHOWED UP ON A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY!  Check out the results & the photos & look soon for the announcement for Rock Chalk Run 2027.

  • New Trail for 10K -- was a success according to many runners!

  • New staggered start times--10K at 8:30, 5K at 8:40, 1K at 8:45--another success

  • 1K Runners will get a bib, although they won't be officially timed, even our youngest runners can sport our bib--and they were darn cute!! 

  • A partnership with adidas to supply our run shirts--they were awesome!  Let's hope this continues!

Our goal is to raise scholarship money for KU Edwards Campus students.
