Calvin Classic 5k

Saturday, October 5

REGISTER TODAY!

The Calvin Classic 5k has been bringing community members together for over 30 years. This fall, the Alumni Association is hosting both an in-person and virtual race on Saturday, October 5. Join us in whatever way works for you—near or far—during Calvin's Homecoming & Family Weekend.

Races

Any age runner, walker, or handcyclist is welcome to participate in our 5k (with virtual option). Younger participants ages 3–9 are invited to run, walk, or skip in our Youth Fun Run (with virtual option). Specific race details, including pricing, freebies, and more, can be found at our official registration site via RunSignUp.

Calvin University and Seminary students are eligible for $15 race registration, regardless of early-bird pricing deadlines. When prompted during registration, be sure to check the box indicating your student status!
