Past Events: Run for the Roses

Saturday, April 30, 2022

The inaugural 5K run - 1K walk on April 30, 2022 was a huge success!

The race course had runners starting in the beautiful K-State Gardens, around the track at World War 1 Memorial stadium, through campus and finishing back at the Gardens.

Walkers were given a guided tour of the Gardens.

Proceeds from the event support K-State Garden projects such as: The Reflecting Pool, the Conservatory, the 150th Anniversary of the Gardens in 2025, and more.
