longhorn run 2025
Saturday, april 12
Registration for Longhorn Run 2025 is FULL! We can't wait to run with 8,000 of you on the Forty Acres on Saturday, April 12th for everyone's favorite race as we celebrate 15 Years and Racing. We'll see y'all at the starting line!
Looking to still be a part of the fun? We can't make Longhorn Run happen without the help of our hundreds of volunteers. Volunteer registration is still open! Click here to learn more and sign-up! Volunteer registration is restricted to current UT students and is set to close on Tuesday, March 25th at 11:59pm CST.
Since its inception in 2010, Longhorn Run has become a campus tradition that unites students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Austin community during the spring semester. Produced through the combined efforts of the Longhorn Run student committee and Recreational Sports, the race offers 5K and 10K courses that start on the UT campus and run through campus and surrounding areas. There is also a virtual runner option where you can run you race from wherever you are and submit their virtual race results for some friendly competition.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Student Government and Recreational Sports Excellence Funds. Click here to learn more.
