HOW TO GET YOUR SWAG

You can have your swag shipped to you for $10, and it will be shipped in early May.

Or, you can pick up your pack at the Pastides Alumni Center. Pickup is on May 3 and 4 from noon to 6 p.m.

Because this event is a fundraiser for student scholarships, we are avoiding ordering a surplus of race shirts. Registration closes March 31, and we will place the shirt order the first week of April.

HOW TO RECORD YOUR PARTICIPATION

Upon registration, you will receive an automated email with the race info, a digital race bib, and a link to the form where you will record your race time, distance and date you ran or walked.

PRIZES

One participant from each distance will be randomly selected to win a gift card to Barefoot Outfitters! Winners will be contacted by email and phone and announced in the April 2021 alumni newsletter.

DOWNLOADABLE ITEMS

Even though we can't race together this year, we encourage you to wear your Gamecock gear and race bib while you run!

Snap a selfie in your gear and tag @uofscalumni and #SpursUpSprint for a chance to be featured on our social media accounts! The participant in the best Gamecock gear will win a prize.
