In-Person
Our in-person 5K will take place on Saturday, February 18th at 8:00 a.m. on PLNU's main campus. Relive your college days walking PLNU's campus, reminiscing about dorm life, and taking in the views once again.
Virtual
The virtual 5K is a 3.1-mile walk/run that can be completed at any pace, from any location, at any time on Saturday, February 18th. Represent PLNU and show your Loma pride from wherever you are in the world and know that you're connected to the greater PLNU family.
Registration fees will benefit the Loma Fund.

You may still participate in the 5K if you miss the registration deadline (Feb. 3), but we will no longer be able to guarantee delivery of the materials before the 5K for those participating virtually.
