Western Michigan University Homecoming 5K presented by the College of Health and Human Services

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The WMU Homecoming 5K course is a scenic route that runs through the Western Michigan University campus. We will start and finish just in front of the Gathering Tree statue at the top of the W. Michigan Ave hill. This will allow for a fast downhill start and finish. The course has plenty of uphill parts too, starting with the new road that was put in next to Arcadia flats heading towards the student center.
