Things will be getting a bit scary this Thursday night, as UCF hosts the Second Annual Spooky Knight 5K run, October 30 at 6:30 p.m. to support the UCF Live United Campaign. This event is held in conjunction with the United Way, which provides charity for education, healthy families, childhood development, financial stability, dental care, and to combat hunger and homelessness.
The event will be held at the Ferrell Commons on the UCF campus. The 5K will be open to all students, faculty, staff and the general community to come together in raising money for the UCF Live United Campaign. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Central Florida Coalition for the Homeless as part of the UCF Live United Campaign. The University has set a fundraising goal of $150,000 for our neighbors in need.
Pre-race activities will start an hour before the race. Early bird registration will be $20 dollars for students with IDs and $25 for faculty, staff, and alumni. To buy tickets the day of registration, tickets will be $25 for students and $30 for all faculty, staff, and alumni. To register click here.
Participants are encouraged to fashion their best Halloween costumes at the event this coming Thursday. The event will have music and fun games to play before the race. The run path will be decked out in Halloween décor along with zombies that will be lurking all throughout the race to jump out at the Halloween runners. There will be food after the race along with prizes for the top male and female runners. There will also be a prize for the best Halloween costume, so come dressed to impress this Thursday night.
The UCF Live United Campaign runs every year in October and has raised over $2 million for those in greatest need around the Central Florida area. UCF Live United Campaign has been hosting various events, fundraisers and volunteer opportunities for their employees and students to stand together to make a positive impact.
Come out this Thursday for a fun run, Halloween festivities, and a chance to make a difference for people in need in Central Florida.
