FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is Longhorn Run 2021 going virtual?
While we’re optimistic that 2021 will bring us closer to hosting and attending in-person events the way we were once used to, we remain cautious and keep participants’ health and safety at the forefront of our planning. It is with that in mind that we’ve made the difficult but necessary decision to proceed with Longhorn Run as a virtual event once again this year.
Who does the race benefit?
All proceeds from Longhorn Run benefit The University of Texas at Austin Student Government (SG) Excellence Fund and Recreational Sports Excellence Fund. Resources from the SG Excellence Fund are meant to equip student groups with the tools to advance current projects or ideas, while promoting the ideals of giving and a spirit of service on the UT campus. The Recreational Sports Excellence Fund is focused on placing resources where they are most immediately needed to ensure that UT students have access to the highest quality recreational program in the nation.
