UC 5K and 1 Mile Walk

Come out and feel the excitement surrounding our Ursuline Arrows campus!

From our cross country and track & field team to you, we welcome you to run through Pepper Pike, the Ursuline College campus and Merici Crossings. 

Arrows Nation will be rooting for you through gradual inclines and road racing as you run to support our XC/T&F program.

Immediately following the race, join in on our Ursuline Fall Festival in the main quad for food trucks, music and fun.

All proceeds go towards the student-athlete experience both in and out of the classroom and races. We greatly appreciate your generosity! 

The UC 5K is an official 2026 Cleveland Road Race Series event. Learn More at ClevelandRoadRaceSeries.com
