Driveway 5K

The Driveway 5K event is designed to promote physical wellness while practicing social distancing and other shelter in place orders to raise funds for Wright State's Deedrick Student Support Fund. The fund will be used to provide financial assistance to our students who are facing critical needs. 

May 2 is significant as we honor the graduation day of our Wright State graduating students. This allows our greater community to show their Raider spirit and support by wearing our green and gold, and sharing our virtual Driveway 5K experience with others through social media. 

Wright State Campus Recreation will provide prizes for the following categories:

• Most creative course 
  • Voted on social media after the event
  • Such as around a living room, backyard, or of course a person's driveway
• Shortest distance course
  • A 10-foot circle in the living room or driveway
  • While stationary machines are a promoted avenue, they are excluded from this prize  
• Most money raised by 5K participant 
  • Be sure to add participants name to the gift form 

Deedrick Student Support Fund 
This is a fund within the Office of Student Affairs which assists students with emergency needs that potentially impact their success as a student. In response to the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on students, the scope of the fund is being expanded to assist students with food, toiletries, supplies, and funding for necessary medications; educational-related money for travel for students who may need to go home.
