longhorn run 2024
Saturday, april 13
Longhorn Run is back in 2024 and we are so excited to be reunited on the Forty Acres this spring for every Longhorn's favorite 5K and 10K race.
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.
