longhorn run 2025
Saturday, april 12

REGISTRATION IS FULL
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.

Virtual Runner Option Information
Can't join us on race day but want to support this campus tradition? Show your support from wherever you are by registering for this ticket option. Log a run as your schedule permits on race weekend, submit your results online and share with us on social media using #WeRunUT.

This registration type includes access to our complimentary training plans and your LHR 2025 Nike Dri-FIT race tee and commemorative race bib. Virtual runners have the option to pick up their race tee during Packet Pick-Up week or have it mailed to their mailing address of choice. Virtual runners will indicate their preference within registration. Please note that all virtual runner packets being mailed will not arrive until AFTER race day. 
We're only able to mail virtual runner packets within the continental United States.

  • Those that choose the "pick-up" option can have someone else pick the race tee up on their behalf if desired -- as long as that person has access to the confirmation email you'll be set.
  • Virtual runners that choose the mailing option will not receive their race tee until AFTER race day.​

refunds & transfers

Longhorn Run has a strict no-refunds policy.

Runners have the ability to transfer their registration to another person if they no longer wish to participate or they can transfer their own registration to a different sub-event. 


To initiate your transfer request, email us at [email protected]. In your email, please include either the email address of the new participant OR the sub-event you would like to transfer your registration to. Once the transfer is initiated, the registrant will receive all instructions from Race Roster via email on how to complete the transfer.
​
Please note: If you intend to transfer your registration to a different sub-event, you will be charged the amount difference if you are transferring to a higher-priced sub-event. There will be no refunds if you are transferring to a lower-priced item than your original sub-event.

After Friday, April 4, transfers will only be able to take place in-person during Packet Pick-Up week (April 7 - 11).
