The Cougar Run

A 5K road race has been a part of BYU Homecoming for more than 25 years. In 2003, the BYU Track and Field program assumed responsibility for the race, and it became the Cougar Run. The 2010 Cougar Run will be held on October 9, at the Clarence Robison Track and Field Complex on Canyon Road south of Lavell Edwards Stadium.

5K Race

Runners begin at the Robison Track and Field Complex and follow the Homecoming parade route, cheered on by the energetic crowd awaiting the parade, which is soon to follow. The race concludes with a lap around the track. Click here for a course description and map. The 5K begins at 9:45 am.

Children ages 1-4 compete in a 200 meter run, ages 5-6 compete in a 400 meter run, ages 7-9 compete in a 800 meter run, and ages 10-12, in a one mile run. Kids races begin at 8:45 am.
